Comments on wiki pages

A comment on a wiki page attaches to the words it’s about. Select “founded in the third age”, press Comment, and that phrase is highlighted for everyone who can see the page — with the conversation one click away.

Note

Commenting is a Collector feature, checked against the world owner’s plan rather than yours. If a Collector shares a world with you, you can comment in it on any plan.

Commenting on a phrase

1. Select some text in the page.

2. Press the Comment bubble that appears above it.

3. The thread opens in the right-hand rail, quoting what you selected. Write your first reply there.

You don’t need permission to edit the page. Anyone who can read it can comment on it — that’s the point of a review.

Finding the conversation

Open the Comments section in the right rail. It shows every thread on the page, newest activity first, with a count of the ones still open.

Each thread shows the words it’s attached to. Click that line and the page scrolls to them and flashes. Click a highlight in the text and the rail opens on its thread — the same journey in reverse.

Filter with Open, All, or @me for threads you’re part of.

When the words change

A page is a living document, so a thread’s text moves, gets rewritten, or disappears. Threads survive all three:

What happened	What you see
Text moved within the page	The highlight follows it
The paragraph was rewritten around it	The highlight follows the words
The words themselves were deleted	The thread stays, quoting what it was about, no longer highlighted

A thread is never discarded because its text changed. If the highlight is gone, the quote in the rail is what tells you where the conversation started.

Tip

Editing a page never deletes anyone’s comments. If a thread has lost its highlight and you want it back on the new wording, reply to say so — the quote is still there to compare against.

Mentioning, resolving, reacting

Type @ to mention anyone the world is shared with; they get a notification linking to the thread. A name that doesn’t match anybody stays as plain text and notifies nobody.

Mark a thread resolved once it’s settled — it stays readable but drops out of the Open filter. Hover a comment to react to it without adding a reply. If a comment says edited, click it to see what it said before.

The bell on a thread controls notifications: unset, watching, or muted. Starting or replying to a thread watches it; muting sticks.

Who can see comments

Comments follow the page. Anyone who can see the page can read and post them.

Caution

Publishing a world does not publish its comments. Readers of a public world get the page and never the conversation about it. Comments are working notes, not part of what you’ve published.

Deleting a page deletes its comments. Comments are not copied when a world is duplicated — a copy starts with a clean slate.

Elsewhere

Entities have their own comments, on the record rather than the prose — see comments on entities. Boards have comments that pin to a node or a spot on the canvas: comments on boards.
