I'm trying to create a Comments section in my wiki. There's one solution on the Web involving the creation of a "column," but that seemed to just create a second text block under the main article block. This is impractical, because subsequent edits don't create new comments - they seem to just edit the existing comment. There are a few others asking this question out there. Has anyone done anything like this before?

My first recommendation would be to try and get a different wiki solution. I tried to get the Sharepoint wiki adopted and it failed in a much bigger way then expected. Then I convinced my company that it was the wiki that was the problem. After switching wiki's we experienced a much greater adoption.
That said, the way that I did comments on the Sharepoint wiki was to make a separate page for every page that I wanted comments on. Then at the top of the page I would have a standard table.
The Page | Comments
This table would link you to a talk like page on wikipedia. This solved the issue to a certain extent for me.
Check out Confluence, it's my favorite wiki software out there right now.

Thanks! I was trying hard not to spend any money, but we have been looking at Confluence too. Might have to bite the bullet. I'll give your solution a shot first, though!

Does Confluence work well with the Sharepoint environment? or is it a totaly seperate install/ auth system?
