Non-article discussion can talk place in the forums, which I believe (if most of the comment activity moves here) can be moderated with much higher ease. And the "Discussion" section on articles forwarding users to make threads on the forums leads me to think that Wikia also shares this idea that forums were streamlined for this reason

My experience at Bulbapedia has given me the impression that limiting non-editing activities (like they have done with limiting Userspace editing) may promote non-editors to spend their time working in mainspaces.
