Is it just me, or on every other major wiki, discussion pages are for users to discuss about the content on the "page". I know for one, i do not browse the discussion pages since there should be no important info on them and do not wish to read others opinion/feedback when lookin for info...

Also, we can no longer edit "page" part of pages, is this a bug, or intended?

If there's something thats part of the game documentation (on the doc pages) that isn't there and should be, the discussion pages are used to talk about it. Certain information (like formulas) are not within the scope of game documentation, and all those formulas are player submitted.. well most of them anyways. So the discussion pages can be used by players to discuss the formulas associated with those things.

Edit: If anybody wants, they can make a specific page for formulas.. I mainly used discussion pages as a temporary fix so the info wouldn't get 'lost'.

Some pages are protected; that may be why you don't see edit links. If something is missing or you would like a correction made, please use the discussion pages.

I know it's way too late and I have made a thread about this before, but this is the latest thread on the topic and I wanted to reiterate my belief that this was a bad decision by those who make such decisions.

In most game-based wikis, they include formulas and general knowledge that is good to know. I think it is nice that it includes game documentation, but it seems silly to limit it to that. Isn't that the whole point of having a wiki vs Game Info (link on the top of every page) in the first place?
