This allows users to leave comments on pages that don't have
`:allow_comments: False` somewhere in the page's source.
Both manual and class reference pages can receive comments.
Index pages cannot have comments, as discussion should occur on "leaf" pages.
GitHub Discussions is used as a backend on the same repository. This means
that Discussions *must* be enabled on godotengine/godot-docs before this
commit is merged to `master`. Users can choose to use the "Custom" watch
mode if they don't want to get notifications for discussion updates,
but still get notifications for issue and pull request updates.
User comments are intended to be used for the following purposes:
- Add a clarification or correct something in the documentation,
without having to open a pull request. Contributors are encouraged to
take a look at discussions from time to time, and see if there's information
worth incorporating in the pages themselves. Don't forget to reply to
the comment when doing so :)
- Mention a workaround for a common issue.
- Link to useful third-party resources that are relevant to the current page,
such as tutorials or add-ons.
User comments should *not* be used for technical support. Other community
platforms should be used for that.
Page-to-discussion matching is done using the `pagename` Sphinx variable,
which is independent of the Godot version and documentation language.
Being independent of the Godot version allows keeping old comments
when the Godot version changes, while also allowing users from `/stable`
and `/4.1` to "see" each other in discussions.

This piece was written back in 2014 before open sourcing Godot, and while its
intent is to be sarcastic, it leaves ample room for misinterpretation.
The intended meaning of this piece was, and always has been, the following:
Exploitative game mechanics suck. Games are a beautiful and artful medium
which can provide players with a wide range of experiences: entertainment,
enlightenment, joy, sadness... Games can be just for fun or they can bear
a message. They can connect people with each other or open the player's mind.
Make games worth your players' time and their money, and do your best to do so
while running a successful and respectful business. Hugs <3
