-Each BIP should, in its preamble, link to a Bitcoin Wiki page with a summary tone of the comments on that page.

+Each BIP should, in its preamble, link to a public wiki page with a summary tone of the comments on that page.
+Reviewers of the BIP who consider themselves qualified, should post their own comments on this wiki page.
 The comments page should generally only be used to post final comments for a completed BIP.
 If a BIP is not yet completed, reviewers should instead post on the applicable development mailing list thread to allow the BIP author(s) to address any concerns or problems pointed out by the review.
 
 Some BIPs receive exposure outside the development community prior to completion, and other BIPs might not be completed at all. To avoid a situation where critical BIP reviews may go unnoticed during this period, reviewers may, at their option, still post their review on the comments page, provided they first post it to the mailing list and plan to later remove or revise it as applicable based on the completed version. Such revisions should be made by editing the previous review and updating the timestamp. Reviews made prior to the complete version may be removed if they are no longer applicable and have not been updated in a timely manner (eg, within one month).
 
-Pages must be named after the full BIP number (eg, "BIP 0001") and placed in the "BIP Comments" namespace. For example, the link for BIP 1 will be https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_Comments:BIP_0001 .
