In my opinion if message walls and forums get removed would not be a great idea. Message walls are great for conversations (yes I know that a live chat is a thing but it’s only popular on here everywhere else prefers message walls for more privacy) and forums are used for games,(games like count to 100 using spongebob quotes) is used for announcements, and some wikis use it for user of the month on there wiki. If these two get removed it honestly wouldn’t make people want to be on this site (or at least me but I do know some users who won’t like this). Not only that removing profile pages and comments section on pages would be just as bad. Hopefully these won’t get removed and just because it things don’t work here doesn’t mean they don’t work in other wikis (I don’t think it was your intention btw) what could be an idea to avoid these is have a voting system of some kind to get an idea of how important forums and other things are for users and for wikis.
