Overall, I agree. However, another issue is that age group that these simple features attract. Most 8-13 year olds tend to be pretty destructive to the wiki, either intentionally or not. Before comments at one wiki I can think of, the average age of the user was 16. Now it's around 13-14. More edits need to be reverted, and while there is overall more activity, I'm not sure that there's more productivity.

But, at any rate, both of our ideas are just theories. I'd like to see how this works out when it is tested on wikis - that's when everyone will be able to make a good call on this.
