I still feel that these decisions that they clearly don't look into will play into this that "if people are continually unhappy with the decisions we're making for our product, it may be time for them to find a new site." - Jenburton, Wikia Inc.'s VP of Community Support

The time it takes for some decisions like those from the Wikia Beta Forums this time last year ignored user sentiment and continued on with their plans. Some things they learned were to give users the run around and only look for bugs (Council and the former beta testers only appear to be the new Quality and Assurance rather than improving or giving their opposition to a given product).

Agreeing with the above as far as protection goes and editing other people's comments on "User wall" pages, it is ignorant to remove the administrative approach that larger wikis have and do currently have. As before, they continue to make features for the less savvy editors and readers who don't know the difference between brackets and a hyperlink. This indeed worries me.

''We took the diff link out of the new message notification, because the Monaco message was really confusing -- "You have new messages (last change)". A new user gets their first talk page message, and clicks on last change, thinking that's the message -- and the first thing that they see is a diff page. Welcome to Wikia! It made new people uncomfortable with their talk pages.'' Continuation of what Danny said almost one year ago?

What I am seeing is that when Wikia does consider Wall complete, they will then force Article comments and blogs on each wiki so that there is a consistent experience across all of Wikia. 18:51, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
