Board Thread:Improvements and Issues/@comment-1429792-20171130113615/@comment-1387259-20171201043458

I've had a gripe with Discussions since the day it came out. We've used the forums for things like, well, this. With the forums, we are able have sections like the Administration Requests Board and the Improvement and Issues Board, both of which are places where valuable discussion about the wiki and state thereof can take place.

Discussions, from what I understand, is nothing but talking about the content of the various articles as if it were social media. This is exactly why I prefer talk pages over article comments and why I'm glad the latter was not forced onto every wiki.

I have no desire for us to become a social media site. That's not what a wiki should be. It should be an encyclopedia above all else. The primary topic of discussion on a wiki should be how to improve it and how to improve the pages, not what you like about X character. Wikia or Fandom or whatever they feel like calling themselves by 2024 does not seem to understand that anymore.

Discussions would hinder what we've attempted to make Bleach Wiki into, and that's a respectable source of information on the Bleach franchise.
