User blog comment:Mira Laime/Moderators Without Borders — a New User Group is Coming/@comment-8072-20170816235709/@comment-5811199-20170817130732

I feel it's not quite an indicator of Discussions being not good - it's mainly that some admins may have a different skill set when moderating a wiki when compared to moderating Discussions. Admins and content moderators stick to cleaning up vandalism, building content and improving the quality of articles.

Discussions is indeed more on the social side of things - where a community of users who are interested in a game, movie, show or topic can thrive and help each other. As such - part of the process in Global Discussions Moderators is to find potential moderator candidates who could take over and maintain this social side of a particular wiki.
