Forum:Talk Pages vs Comments

Should talk pages be replaced by comments?
A fan asked me (i.e. asked the official Twitter account) if I could enable the comments feature on the wiki.

Now, I'm by no means opposed to comments - the thing is, this site forces you to disable talk pages if you enable comments. You can't have both. I mean, I could try asking Staff for both but I doubt I'd be successful. (The fan didn't know that talk pages would be disabled when she asked her question).

Well, admittedly talk pages aren't really used much around here as it is - lack of user traffic/user involvement with the site, etc. Heck, I'm not sure how many users will even see this forum topic. Maybe I should make a poll here (either on the main page or embedded in the forum) and on the Twitter account - I want to get as much feedback as I can on this before a decision is made.

First things first - I guess I'll link to this topic on the Twitter account in a few hours (at a more reasonable time of day) and hope some users visit and input their feedback. Revriley (talk) 06:10, April 10, 2017 (UTC)
