[Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] Disable comment duplication in Wiki

[Anand Mehta]

Thanks for the suggestions. I eventually came up with a script (see attached) that seems to help cleanup Wiki comments from a site. I know that altering data directly in the database is not good, so we plan to use it only as a last resort. Hopefully a future release will have this option in the UI.

 

Thanks, 
Anand

Yeah, there's no great solution to this.

There is a feature to hide comments.
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-16798


But the real solution would have required a feature to delete pages (since a comment is really just a page)
which was never implemented.
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-11910
