Hi Chris,

Have you tried http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:discussion ?

"The Discussion Plugin adds a discussion section after your wiki page 
for user comments. This is useful to separate page content and the 
discussion thereof and also, if you don't want to give normal users the 
right to edit the page but still want user contributed notes."

This can create a spam problem, so you may want to look into 
http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:captcha , 
http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:akismet , and 
http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:badbehaviour

My personal solution was to disable account creation and anonymous 
comments. If someone wants to comment, they need to use an OpenID. The 
spambots don't seem to be trying this yet.
