Treating the rest of the site as though it is a nuisance is an outdated and nonsensical approach to be taking on a wiki that is all about a community: it's an antiquated theory that stems from Wikipedia. While it works for them, because they're a general wiki, this idea does not work here. There is a reason its called a mainspace. Nobody treats the rest of the site like its a "nuisance", it's just simply on the side. A wiki is "a web application which allows people to add, modify, or delete content in collaboration with others", the forums and the chat are just other functions that the wiki offers.

The truth is that our mainspace has a hell of a lot more problems than the chat or forums does. Wikia is about a community, therefore the forums/blog/chat need to be given the same amount of care and attention the mainspace does. Treating the mainspace with more care and attention than everything else is stupid and is not the point of a Wikia community. There's a difference between a "wiki" and a "Wikia" :/
