Yeah, I don't see how this true. Do you have some specific examples? Less people complaining about not being able to access it. Navigation performs quicker (except middle-click is broken). Posting is faster - no more waiting for a tick to appear in the bottom of the page. The posting interface is no longer sticky & at the top; that just attracts out of context replies.

What do you mean by splitting content types and how does that make the features ineffective? @Andrewds: fair enough. Fandom calls all of its modules (TFA, Fan Feed) "recirculation" - they're meant to encourage traffic around Fandom instead of having people bounce away.

These recirculation efforts didn't work very well, because of the assumption that everyone on the site is a fan of GOT or whatever's trending, and they are less interested in the wiki they just visited.

The point of Feeds is to generate traffic for relevant discussions, wiki articles AND editorials - all the same topic. It's better for the wiki because Fandom's content will actually run parallel to the wiki and not annoy readers or encourange bouncing.
