RubikJohn wrote: Wiki Purpose I find it to be an important enough point that this isn't just a wiki - the site has been renamed "Fandom", because that's what its for. It's primary purpose is to display information clearly for people to see, and there's no question as to whether it's done its job. However, at the same time, even if Discord is a better place for it, this wiki is also a place for its community members. The Forum and Discussions exist for this very reason. If anything, shitposting on this wiki can still bring the community members together. If you have dislike for this type of activity, as Zed said, you can ignore it.

Browsing ​​​​​​​

There are other ways to browse this wiki. You can use the boards individually. You don't have to use RWA. Use the Forum. I've done so for about 2 years before beginning to usa RWA specifically to find message wall threads since they're not displayed there. Brand renaming does not mean the purpose has been shifted with it. Fandom sites are still known as wikias, they are still listed as databases for providing information and not lounges for people to post irrelevant crap on.

Shitposting does not bring community members together, as not only is there a severe lack of evidence of such a social bond forming but the interactions in shitposting are almost if not entirely shallow and meaningless.

Zed said I can ignore it, but Zed also said these forms of shitposting and off-topicness serve absolutely no purpose on the wiki, directly contradicting your aforementioned argument for it. If it serves absolutely no purpose, why do you still keep it then?

The RWA was specifically designed for a user or an editor's convenience.
