# Adding a comment system
Material for MkDocs is natively integrated with [Disqus][1], a comment system
that provides a wide range of features like social integrations, user profiles,
as well as spam and moderation tools. Of course, other comment systems can be
integrated, too.

## Configuration
### Disqus

First, ensure you've set [`site_url`][3] in `mkdocs.yml`. Then, to integrate
Material for MkDocs with [Disqus][1], create an account and a site giving you a
[shortname][4], and add it to `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
extra:
disqus: <shortname>
```
This will insert a comment system on _every page, except the index page_.

If the [Metadata][5] extension is enabled, you can disable or enable Disqus for
specific pages by adding the following to the front matter of a page:
=== "Enable Disqus"
``` markdown
---
disqus: <shortname>
---
```
=== "Disable Disqus"
``` markdown
---
disqus: ""
---
```
