+### Always show the comment icon
+
+Kanboard shows the comment icon on a board card only once it has at least one comment, so
+adding the *first* comment means opening the card and finding the sidebar link. With this
+tweak on, a card with no comments shows a comment bubble with a **"+"** that opens the same
+comment modal, letting you add the first comment straight from the board. Cards that already
+have comments keep showing the count as before.
+
+- Rendered by the `template:board:task:icons` hook (`Template/board/task_comment_icon.php`),
+  only when the card has no comments and the user may create one (so it does not show for
+  read-only viewers).
+- **On by default.** Toggle it under "Settings -> Organon Tweaks".
+
+## Settings
+
+Global (per Kanboard instance) and admin-only, under "Settings -> Organon Tweaks":
+
+- **Always show the comment icon on board cards** -- default on.
