Add Comment Function on a Particular Page

The Comment function is automatically added to the end of the last line of a page using the tag: <comments />


A technical glitch created by the Comment tag being added to the last line prevents the last code from being parsed properly.


This can be corrected in edit mode by manually pushing the <comments /> tag to a new line.

1. Login as a System Operator (Sysop).


You need special permission to become a Sysop: email OutHistory to request Sysop privileges.


2. Go to Special Pages from left red bar.


3. Go to All Pages from the list.


4. Fill the search form to find the page. Enter the page name and select Discuss from the Namespace list. Hit go.


5. Click the name of the page from the search result to go the Discuss page.


6. Now from the Discuss page you protect it clicking the link on the yellow bar.
