[[I'd like to make a suggestion for to help with this wikia. Adding comment sections??? : / Is that a bad idea?

 * I think talk pages serve the same function well enough. People may be used to comment sections, but here they are a proprietary Wikia feature, not something that is available from the open source MediaWiki platform.--CaduRyaq (talk) 07:33, January 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * I always thought the talk pages were for leaving suggestions, requests and something that partains to work on the actual wikia page. Comments on a wikia seem more for just dropping opinions and being more expressive about ones thoughts about the content of a page. For example: Talk page comments would have, "We need to add Maeve's height when we find it." Where as comments would be more, "Maeve is really cute! ^_^"...
 * I saw that the RWBY wikia had a comment section on many of it's characters. Maybe this one could too?
 * That said, maybe I didn't notice a suttle difference in different wikias...  So it comes back to my original question despite if it is doable or not: "Is it a good idea?" If you feel you already answered all this then I appologize if I didn't understand what you said CaduRyaq.

 * There are places for general discussion, like the official forums or the subreddit. Wikis have a different focus I think. --CaduRyaq (talk) 19:04, January 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * That is very true. Although I think wikis can still be no less social. They often seem to be driven by a community I think. I aclnowledge that I could be wrong. None the less, it is not a good idea to add a comment section to this wikia?
