hi,

quick reply!

if you say you don't need comments on your website, a quick way to 
disable comments is to change the configuration file for wikka 
(wikka.config.php). Set 'hide_comments' to 0
http://docs.wikkawiki.org/ConfigurationOptions

A manual solution to disable (and hide) comments on particular pages is 
to add the action {{nocomments}} in the page.
http://docs.wikkawiki.org/NocommentsActionInfo

best,
yan
