Page Comment field

Take out the Comment field when editing a page ... what does this add? 99 times out of 100 it's going to be something stupid like "edited page" or "added comment." How does this help anyone? --someone

No, the Comment field will not be removed. Check out the Archive link. Even if people aren't providing proper comments, you can still go back and, for each revision, see what they changed (the diff), when (the timestamp), and why (the comment: "fixed a typo", "moved blurb to another page", "added a link", etc). --Wim

Yep, even if people initially don't put helpful comments in, they will probably soon realise where the comments get shown and why it's useful to say something relevant. Mostly. And those that don't, don't, but the feature shouldn't be removed. --jammin
