== There should be an easier way to read comments ==
{{tl|editprotected}}
At least as viewed with Vista/Firefox, the Comments: page topped by the "Opinions" tab is not accessible from the tabs at the top of an article page. That seems like a bug, but it has persisted for at least several months. In the meanwhile, I think we need a way to view existing comments without typing "Comments:" manually and without going through the edit page to add a new comment. I suspect that most casual users won't do either of those things. Things are even a little more confusing because the "Comment:" namespace conflicts with the "Add comment" tab at the top of the page which leads to the "Talk:" namespace.

I suggest that this template should contain a direct link to view the opinion page:
<br style="clear:{{{clear|none}}};">
<center>
<div align="center" class="noprint messagebox boilerplate plainlinks" id="commentrequest" style="background-color:#FFFFFF; border:1px solid #CCCCCC; padding:2px;width:50%; text-size:smallest;">
{{{1|Have an opinion on this story?}}} [{{fullurl:Comments:{{PAGENAME}}|action=edit{{#ifexist: Comments:{{PAGENAME}}||&preload=Wikinews:Commentary_pages_on_news_events/body%20}}&editintro=Wikinews:Commentary_pages_on_news_events/intro&section=new}} {{{2|Post it!}}}] or [{{fullurl:Comments:{{PAGENAME}}}} Read previous comments]
</div></center>

It would be best to fix the system of tabs used at the top of the page, but changing this template is a useful work-around that would still be somewhat useful even after tab navigation is working. [[User:Mike Serfas|Mike Serfas]] ([[User talk:Mike Serfas|talk]]) 12:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
