Every community member was free to join the discussion in the War Room and a visible link was posted on the recent wiki activity. If people didn't care to participate, then that's not my responsibility.

Just look at the archives on Avatar Wiki and you'll see that the comments and them being there has always been a big thing on the wiki, both with supporters of them, but also with many opposers. So your hypothesis that comments have always been liked and them being a big thing is just factually incorrect.

Please, if you want me to carry on a discussion with you, at least do me the courtesy of dropping the hypothetical drama. You don't know the forums won't get axed someday, just as you don't know that someday all the admins might decide to just delete every page on the wiki and then protect it so that no one else can restore it. Do you see the irrelevancy of speculating about such things, especially if you want to make a serious point? Also, "you're forced to wonder"? Come on... And yes, not every wiki has done what the AW has done. But also, not every wiki has democratically elected administrators as the AW has. Not every wiki allows so much community input as the AW does. Not every wiki is as organized as the AW is. Not every wiki is a lot of this, so what exactly is your point with your comparison?

Seriously... read my comment again. I never said that commenters on their own are useless. They are not useless as people. The are, however, undeniable useless to our wiki's goal of becoming a thorough encyclopedia, as they do not contribute anything substantial to our pages. So please, get your facts straight before you attack me on something that I didn't even say. So of course you disagree with me as you don't deigned yourself to look at our wiki's background and you didn't deign yourself to get your facts straight before complaining about something. You just see your side and you didn't care to find out the reasoning behind a measure taken.
