Sorry, I may have misphrased that.

What I mean is that for those who contribute heavily to the Wiki, most of their interaction takes place in the Comments, personal Message Walls, and (for wikis that don't have Comments) the Talk Pages. We also use the Live!Chat for more real-time discussions.

My original reply meant that it appears those who frequent the Discussion section rarely interact directly with the editors and the Wiki proper.

If you look at these most recent contributors to the Discussion section:
 * Lord Teacrumble
 * ThePugHybrid
 * Traab
 * Emily Kaldwin & Corvo Attano
 * Dreddbo 18
 * Haitam Mahboub
 * Great.Dane01

Only one of those above mentioned has any real interaction(s) on the main wiki. I do realize that some of these people are newer, but the point still stands.

Conversely, if you look at those who contribute heaviest to the main wiki here, then you notice they hardly ever visit the Discussions, and if they do, the amount is far less than their visits here.

As such, there almost appears to be two communities: one that visits the main wiki, and the other than frequents the Discussions section, with only a very small fraction that visit both.

Please understand, I have no problem with the Discussions section, but I personally like the Comments under each page and hope there are no plans for them to go away anytime soon.
