T249293 is about hiding reply links on the entire page, this task is about hiding reply links in specific sections.
There are two categories of things we want to hide reply links one:
1. Things that are comments, but we don't want people to reply to any more (e.g. closed/archived discussion)
2. Things are have signatures but aren't comments (e.g. vote/participation lists)
These should be dealt with slightly differently as in (1) we still want to comment parser to detect them, e.g. for permalinking or computing thread metadata (# of comments in a thread). In (2) we don't want the parser to recognise the comments at all.
=== Approaches
* Define wrapper classes for (1) and (2) which result in reply links being suppressed / signatures being skipped.
