Help:Embeddable Comments

From Wikia Help

This extension is currently under development - it may be in beta testing on specific wikis, but may not be widely available for some time.
An embedded comment section

Embeddable Comments can be added to any page, but are primarily found on blogs. They work similarly to normal blog type commenting systems.

Contents

Adding comment areas

Each blog article has comments at the end of it. You can add comments to any page on the site -- not just blog articles.

To add comment functionality to a page, put <comments></comments> on the page.

You can also add the following elements within the <comments> tag:

  • Allow="Usernames"

Enter usernames separated by commas to allow only those users to add comments. You can, effectively, lock comments by putting something like Allow=DNL there.

  • Voting="Plus"

By default, comments can be rated positively or negatively by any logged-in user. This a allows users to only give pluses to comments.

Ignoring commenters

You can ignore (hide) comments from specific users by clicking the little red no entry symbol by their name on a comment. This will hide them from view on later pageloads, though you can click "Show Comment" to reshow their comment.

By visiting Special:CommentIgnoreList you can remove users from your ignore list.

Administration

Users in the commentadmin group can permanently delete comments.

Notes

  • If a page is moved, the comments will also be moved.
  • If you remove the <comments> code and restore it, the comments will not be lost.
  • If a page is deleted, the comments will be lost.
