As far as I know, there is no such feature.  
There’s a replies auto-deletion system, but only staff can see the deleted message.

The closest using built-in features I think of would be:

1. An associated discussion in another topic where feedback is discussed (and the topic would be linked at the top or bottom of the wiki)

2. An associated chat channel (but there is no search feature in chat right now)

I don’t know how easy it would be to have a theme component or plugin that would toggle the visibility of the replies (and how the timeline would react to this).
