Thanks, Matthias!

Please let us know when it's merged and ready for testing.

You make a reasonable point about the benefits of letting readers access this
feedback page as well.

Normally, I would not hesitate to do this, but we are hearing concerns from
editors that the tool is increasing their workload by forcing them to moderate
the comments. One counter-argument we have been making is that they do not have
to moderate, because the feedback page is not being promoted to the general
public. This counter-argument would lose its strength if we started promoting
the feedback page to readers on article pagess, making it a lot more visible
than on the talk page. 

We will discuss this tough trade-off on Wednesday's project review. A possible
compromise could be to not show 'All comments' to readers unless they register.

To answer your first question, I agree that this new link is almost the same as
the talk page link, with the exception of whether or not readers get to see it.
For now, we may want to keep them separate until we resolve the issue above.

I like your idea of letting readers know that that they get more powerful
feedback moderation tools after registering an account. This is something we
may want to do if we determine that we want to encourage more reader moderation
in the All-comments page.

To be continued after we get to test your first implementation and get more
input on the issues above.

Thanks again for moving forward on this!
