Commen #### Discussion
A **discussion** is a group of 1 or more comments. A discussion can include subdiscussions. Some discussions have the special capability of being able to be **resolved**. Both the comments in the discussion and the discussion itself can be resolved.

+- Destruction buttons should be clear and always say what they are destroying.
+ E.g., `Delete page` instead of just `Delete`.
+- If the copy describes another action the user can take instead of the
+ destructive one, provide a way for them to do that as a secondary button.
+- Avoid the word `cancel` or `canceled` in the descriptive copy. It can be
+ confusing when you then see the `Cancel` button.
