BlackMonkey, you said: "Wikia wasn't made for community discussions." - every time you have a conversation about how a page should look, or what new policies should be created, or how to deal with a problem user.... those are community discussions. That's what talk pages are all about, and part of what makes wikis work. The idea here isn't to replace those conversations, it's to help more of them happen. If there are more people talking about how to make your wikis great, with clearer ways to follow pages and make sure you never forget to check that conversation about categorizing Avatar's character pages.... then that should really help in letting us all do what we love - working together on building wikis.

I know you aren't convinced that this is the answer to that yet, but I hope you'll try it on the test wikis and let us know what parts you think will and won't work in practice.
