Individual comments are stored as internal-use pages named something like
`page/comment_1`, `page/comment_2`, etc. These pages internally use a
-`\[[!_comment]]` [[ikiwiki/directive]].
+[[comment_directive|ikiwiki/directive/comment]].
There are some global options for the setup file:
-* `comments_open_pagespec`: pages where new comments can be posted, e.g.
- `blog/* and created_after(close_old_comments)` or `!*/discussion`.
- You need to set this, since the default is to not add comments to any
- pages.
-* `comments_shown_pagespec`: pages where comments will be displayed inline,
- e.g. `blog/*` or `!*/discussion`.
+* `comments_pagespec`: [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] of pages where comments are
+ allowed. The default is not to allow comments on any pages. To allow
+ comments to all posts to a blog, you could use
+ `blog/posts/* and !*/Discussion`.
+* `comments_closed_pagespec`: [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] of pages where
+ posting of new comments is closed, but any existing comments will still
+ be displayed. Often you will list a set of individual pages here.
+ For example: `blog/controversial or blog/flamewar`
* `comments_pagename`: if this is e.g. `comment_` (the default), then
comment pages will be named something like `page/comment_12`
* `comments_allowdirectives`: if true (default false), comments may
specify a name for themselves, and the \[[!meta author]] and
\[[!meta authorurl]] directives will not be overridden by the comments
plugin

+## comment moderation
+
+If you enable the [[blogspam]] plugin, comments that appear spammy will be
+held for moderation. (Or with the [[moderatedcomments]] plugin, all
+comments will be held.) Wiki admins can access the comment moderation queue
+via a button on their Preferences page.
+
+The comments are stored in `.ikiwiki/comments_pending/`, and can be
+deleted, or moved into the wiki's srcdir to be posted.
