  Dear Staff,

  What do you think about adding a section “Deleting Comments” to this support document: https://wordpress.com/support/empty-site/?
  The idea comes from this thread: https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/deleting-bulk-comments/

  Hi,

  I don’t really see how this would fit in the Empty Site doc. Am I missing something?
  However, I feel like it might be a good idea to add info about bulk editing comments to the Comments support page: https://wordpress.com/support/comments/.
  What do you think about that?

  Hi staff-mckluskey, nice to see you!

  I don’t really see how this would fit in the Empty Site doc

  oooh, now I see, deleting a post automatically deletes all comments of that post, so there is no need to delete them manually once a person needs to Empty a Site. Sorry for triggering that, now clear.

  However, I feel like it might be a good idea to add info about bulk editing comments to the Comments support page: https://wordpress.com/support/comments/.

  IMHO information about WP-Admin shortcut could be added, but I do not know what is the future of Calypso/WP-Admin relationship. I mean if some missing functions like “Number of items per page” for comments are planned be added to Calypso- then Support Doc will be updated anyway when the time comes. If WP-Admin will always stay behind Calypso to add some rarely used functionality- then sure, we can add a remark about Amount of comments per page as you have suggested.

  Is there anything I could do about that?

  Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that!

  No, no worries about that. I’ll pass along your suggestion to the doc’s team :).

  If that is the case, I will note similar cases as I go, to add useful links to support docs.

  Thanks a lot!
