I agree with your points. The issue is indeed large enough for one to think twice before making a potentially wrong decision. To me, it seems that Wikia is determined to bring the feature through, but it's not a completely &ldquo;devilish&rdquo; scheme. It will likely increase communication&mdash;&ldquo;chatting&rdquo;&mdash;but if the community of a wiki is cohesive and determined enough to divert new users from solely using the upgrades for &ldquo;social networking,&rdquo; the process will turn into a self-constructive one, one where new users that have embraced the content will contribute to community growth by tutoring newer users. Dramatically, the wikis(s) would undergo a rebirth temporarily analogous to the circus viciosus of the phoenix bird; a process that is open-ended and its ending depends on the community itself.
