I disagree with your first point. The users here, on Community Central, are usually experienced editors with a lot of edits, often on more wikis. Such users have no problem with wiki-markup on talk pages, they will also tend to resist changes as they are used the the "old" structure. Even more so, they adjusted their wikis to work well with that structure and they don't want to do re-adjustments.

The average Wikia user, the way I see him/her, doesn't even have an account, will only occasionally make an edit here and there and is generally inexperienced with wiki-markup. From that perspective the 300 skeptic commentators about the Message Wall aren't really representative.
