Is it possible I turned this off by messing around with plugins? Even if so, then it's strange that I see the "optional comment" text without the corresponding text area.
If the answer isn't immediately obvious you can see for yourself at <http://metameso.org/aa/ikiwiki.cgi?page=index&do=edit> (UN: guest PW: guest2011).

It doesn't look like you are doing the former. Are you overriding the ikiwiki template dir with an out-of-date editpagel template? -- [[Jon]]
