A special tag to insert a reply button

In the "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion" of Chinese Wikipedia, at least one batch is added each day, with multiple subsection and a signature at the end. Therefore, each subsection is unsigned and the Reply tool is not available. I want to allow a special HTML tag, magic word or template to insert a recognized request element, allowing a reply button under this line.

YFdyh000: I see "reply" links to the right of each signature in that section. This tool is designed for replying to the posts of people, not to subsection headlines. You may, of course, "edit source" or "quick edit", as appropriate.

I'm expecting it to allow showing and replying to a dummy invisible signature, as sometimes need to vote in subsection without signature.

YFdyh000: unsigned votes are not legitimate.

This is misunderstood. I mean, suppose user A initiates a poll with three subsections, then another user should be able to quickly [Reply] to a section, even if there are no comments in that section.

@YFdyh000: Every subsection A creates should have a brief explanation with signature that can then garner replies.

This is a work around, but multiple discussions in Chinese Wikipedia accept replies / votes without first signatures, the user has to manually editing page.

The team has talked about a "voting" mode, but this work will not happen during the next year.
