But Pages are not only for “About us” or “Contact” pages. They can be set in a tree-like structure, so it’s often used for some static non-blog content, e.g. articles or eBook pages or “meet my cat” pages. And the site owner may decide to allow commenting on these pages.
If Pages weren’t designed for commenting, then why is that checkbox present in the “Edit page” dialog? 😛

Here’s how to handle with it:
How to switch on comments for pages
It depends on the template tag in page.php.

Hello. I think I have a solution (for 2.7, but check if it works for you too), but it would be better if the developers verify if it is right. Here it is:

After uncommenting in quicktags.js as the FAQ says, open wp-admin/includes/post.php file and find the string 'wp_more'. After it, insert a comma and another string like that: 'wp_page'. Here’s how the whole line should look like:

$mce_buttons = apply_filters('mce_buttons', array('bold', 'italic', 'strikethrough', '|', 'bullist', 'numlist', 'blockquote', '|', 'justifyleft', 'justifycenter', 'justifyright', '|', 'link', 'unlink', 'wp_more', 'wp_page', '|', 'spellchecker', 'fullscreen', 'wp_adv' ));

Hope it helps. Works for me.

BTW me too wonder why the devs removed that button.
