add to your skins tmpl file something like this:

<div id='commentpage'><!--wiki:AddBox.{$Name}--></div>


Otherwise you can do it with wiki markup and no tmpl modifications:

(:if exists AddBox.{$Name}:)
(:div1 style='float:right; width:250px; background:#ddffdd; border:1px solid #66ee66;':)
(:include AddBox.{$Name}:)
(:div1end:)
(:if:)

The if exists conditional is only necessary because of the div box
styling: without it it would show a bit of  a box without content.
Otherwise if an included page does not exists nothing would show when
using a (:include PageName:) markup.
