Social features are fine in moderation, so far we've yet to see the moderation. Yes, Wikipedia's style of doing things is tailored to shooing away people who don't know what they're doing, which is fine when your wiki is so large that it needs over a thousand admins to run efficiently. Wikia is much more accessible than that, but there's a point at which you don't have to keep catering to new users. Currently, there are tons of ways you can get your name out, but very few that you can use to actually improve the content.
