I assume this is just an example; otherwise it would imply that talk page and forum edits are automatically no useful.

On most wikis, forum and talk page edits are useful, just much less useful. The only places I've seen where this isn't true are places like CC, Dev, Portability, and Templates which are all support wikis and represent a miniscule portion of overall edits on FANDOM. I never meant to imply forum and talk page edits are not useful, but I stand by my example based on extreme amounts of experience. I've seen some really elaborate and well structured forum and talk page edits, but on most wikis they are more for fanon type stuff that only helps users who are into that specific fanon.
