[Mediawiki-l] two questions about the discussions tab

Hi,

I'm still fairly new to media wiki, but I couldn't
find this information....

I would like to
1. protect the article (that is easy)
2. allow non admins to edit the discussion (that is
easy)
    but.....
      instead of allowing them to click the "edit" on
the discussion page, actually want to click the "+"
beside the "edit" - as I'd like each new
comment/discussion to be in it's own section - this
kind of prevents someone from erasing someone elses
comments.... is this possible?  and more importantly,
for a subset of pages only?

If that is possible, then my followup question is, can
the user signature automatically be appended to the
comment when saving?  I already have turned on the
option that the user must be logged in, but as these
comments on these specific pages might only be read
every six months, it would be useful in our intranet
application to have some form of user traceability
(not foolproof traceability, but just enough to figure
out in our small organization who it was so we could
speak to them in person for more details).  because I
picture a lot of non wiki experts and people not
putting on their user signature by comments.

thanks (and apologies if I missed something in the
documentation)
b
