User blog comment:Likes-That-Tail/The Importance of the Namespaces/@comment-9062114-20140727203710

In the words of User:TheBEARDEDcanuck ''what have you been smoking? xD ''

Okay, I'm going to try and explain why each point made in this article is incorrect and/or misleading.

"What the Mainspace is and why it matters"

Okay, you seem to claim here that the Mainspace is the most important part of the Wiki, yet this is never explained. The only thing even ramotely close to an explanation is Jimeee's one sided stat. Which, though may be true, he doesn't consider the amount of views the Forums have. It might be just as much if not more than that. This doesn't prove that the Mainspace is more important for any reason.

Your other point about users needing to edit more. Did you ever think there's a reason for people not editing the Mainspace? For me personally, it is because of all the revert spammers, badge-hunters, vandals not being delt with for hours, and nonsesical rules that get in people's ways. The Mainspace is completely user UN-friendly! You cannot have your cake and eat it too, if nobody is editing yet the Wiki is getting activity, clearly something is not right.

In addition, doesn't this contradict your original point? If the Mainspace is the most important part of this Wiki, why does nobody edit it? Why do the Admins decide what's the most important part, why not base it off of usage? Which, if this was the case the Forums would be the Most Important aspect, since they get way more activity than the Mainspace, possibly even more people reading them than the actual articles.

This is a Wiki, not a Wiki plus Forums, plus Chat, plus Blogs 

I actully agree with this, however blogs like this do NOT help the situation. Since it's pretty much saying the Mainspace is more important than the other aspects of the Wiki, that is what starts these conflicts, so if anything saying in this blgo constantly that the Mainspace is better solves nothing.
