In the forms module in the entries blueprint, add the following form definition:

class CommentForm(wtforms.Form): name = wtforms.StringField('Name', validators=[validators.DataRequired()]) email = wtforms.StringField('Email', validators=[ validators.DataRequired(), validators.Email()]) url = wtforms.StringField('URL', validators=[ validators.Optional(), validators.URL()]) body = wtforms.TextAreaField('Comment', validators=[ validators.DataRequired(), validators.Length(min=10, max=3000)]) ...
