 The intention is that on a non-wiki site (like a blog) you can lock all

 even anonymous) users to comment on posts. See the documentation of the

-Known issues:
-
-* Needs code review
-* The access control via postcomment() is rather strange (see [[discussion]] for more details)
-* There is some common code cargo-culted from other plugins (notably inline and editpage) which
-  should probably be shared
-* Joey doesn't think it should necessarily use internal pages (see [[discussion]])
-* Previews always say "unknown IP address"
-* Add `COMMENTOPENID`: the authenticated/verified user name, if and only if it was an OpenID
-* The default template should have a (?) icon next to unauthenticated users (with the IP address
-  as title) and an OpenID icon next to OpenIDs
+## 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.
+
+Comments pending moderation are not checked into revision control.
+To find unmoderated comments, `find /your/ikiwiki/srcdir -name '*._comment_pending'`
+To manually moderate a comment, just rename the file, removing the
+"_pending" from the end, and check it into revision control.
