Board Thread:General Coding Help/@comment-4193424-20170506195547

I want to embeddable comment box in certain non-article pages that function like the now unavailable wikia forum's reply box. This would idealy include: User name + avatar, timestamp, fillable text box, buttons for visual/source view, buttons for bold/italic font & link, buttons for add image/video, and multiple pages for long reply threads.

I am not a programmer, and aside from finding examples and asking for help, I do not know where to begin creating the feature I need.

Any advice on what to do or directions to where to find where code can be tested, instructions, coding behavior/capabilities, or examples would be  very  appreciated.  
 * I have a basic html comment box that was previously used on wikia for this feature back when html was able to be  directly  added to wikis, but do not know where to start to port it to a format usable with Wikia's current JS approval system.
 * The code does not include any configuration buttons (text format & add media). Though I found instructions on adding some of the buttons, I'm not certain this is the right format needed, or if/how I could inlcude the add photo/video button.
 * The code does not automatically create subpages if the thread goes on too long. While this isn't as high a priority, I am concerned that it may cause issues if comment threads get too long.
 * Alternatively, there is this mediawiki comment box extension that seems nearly perfect for my needs, except for lacking configuration buttons. It also seems far more complicated to customize, but I wanted to include it in the chance that that's is not the case.
