First of all, you have no way of proving that, second of all, if anyone has an Elder Scrolls or game question they need answering, they can use the Forums. When I google stuff involving Elder Scrolls I find myself on the Wikis Forums, based off of the first few hits. How can say the Mainspace is more imporant!? First, it is arguably out-dated, but saying it is completely irrelevant is just incorrect.

Second, do I really need to prove that more people just look at the mainspace articles than are on the forum? 20 million copies of Skyrim have (legally) reached the hands of gamers. What if one in every thousand have accessed the wiki? That's 20,000 people that have been here. How many people do you think have been in the forums or been in chat?

Third, most questions can be answered by the article itself. The majority of questions players have is most likely something simple like 'what happens if I go to jail?' or 'how do I get past the claw puzzle in Bleak Falls Barrow?' that don't need a thread on the Forums.

Fourth, I don't understand what you mean about getting to the forum in a few hits.

Fifth, I can say mainspace is more important because that's what the Forum and Chat were built around.
