"Nobody likes the discussions. Except for Mr. Wookiepedia mod, who has taken to attacking haters."

I don't attack haters. I criticise those that can't function in a constructive manner. Hating on a 'beta' feature, hating on a feature that hasn't even removed in an older feature as of yet (and won't be for some time) is not constructive in any way shape or form. It's actually very juvenile. If people would actually listen, Fandom is more then willing to work with everyone on this. They want feedback. Constructive and USEFULL feedback. When a dialogue is started and maintained, solutions to those very issues can begin to move forward. I've been busting my tail off attempting to find solutions with the limited tools that we were presented. We tried many things... some didn't work, and some did. As more and more tools are given to us, the better the overall user experience has become. We've seen growth in quality users. We've seen a dramatic decline in disruptive users. And what makes me the most happy, is we've seen an increase in users who are interested in editing the wiki. People are actually attempting to learn and get involved. That sounds pretty darn good to me. And lastly, 31 votes is not representative to the thousands of users who participate in Discussions on a daily basis. That poll is statistically irrelevant.
