+1. I was setting up a wiki-like site, and spent nearly a day breaking my head, unsuccessfully searching a lot of forum posts and trying to search in GitHub on whether the topic map was a separate widget or plugin that needs to be installed. Only after reading this post, I realized that a reply was all that was needed.

I’m not an UX expert, but turning it on by default for all posts would make it:

- Make those statistics available (there are more useful stats there beyond just the responses)
- Makes UX uniform throughout the site, no special behavior for topics with responses
- Avoid some discoverability issues (like my dumb case)
