Actually, it’s only sort of pointless.

The good part of this is that Wiki staff members can announce anything important.

On the flip side though, they can only post URLs in the description of the announcements. Since I’m an administrator in one of Wikis, it sorta bugs me that we have to 1) post whatever we have to say on some webpage and 2) copy and paste it’s URL into the announcement description.
