There's a variety of types of wiki software where comments are
integrated into the body of the page itself, generally below the
content of the page; Mediawiki is notable in separating the two
functions (discussion & article) but I don't know if it was the
*first* wiki software to do so. History pages for content (any kind of
content) have been around for a long time though, as Brion notes.

(don't remember the

on the mainpage, mainly because there was no talk page feature. I guess I'm
just spreading stories.

Or are you meaning the actual steps that led to the creation of
history pages--I believe it was one of Brion Vibber's first major
additions to the MediaWiki software.
Eh... no? That not only predates my involvement, it predates the
existence of Wikipedia.
