+## comment moderation
+
+If you enable the [[blogspam]] plugin, comments that appear spammy will be
+held for moderation. Wiki admins can access the comment moderation queue
+via a button on their Preferences page.
+
+The comments are stored in `.ikiwiki/comments_pending/`, and can be
+deleted, or moved into the wiki's srcdir to be posted.
