If you want to limit/direct certain types of posts to another area of the wiki for a good reason, such as to cut back on posts you know will likely never get replies (like posts looking for a teammates), those types of rules could always be written into the discussion guidelines, and those particular posts can get flagged/removed as they appear. If a user ever happens to question why such a post was removed, they could be linked to the guideline page containing clear instructions of where to post, so there shouldn't need to be any extensive exchanges between an admin, and a poster of this content.

Every forum/discussion area is going to have some level of spam, so the links you've been providing to what you consider as "low quality content" don't really surprise me; I've seen a lot of stuff similar to that in discussions before, and it's easy enough to quickly remove. Like I mentioned above, you could even write something into the guidelines asking users not to post those short posts that aren't really discussion-generators. Those types of posts are not really the type of content that I'm saying should be left alone. In the end, there may indeed only be a few legitimate discussion posts each month, but at least there will be some content, rather than users being directed by the Fandom system into an empty discussions area.

I'm not going to speculate reasons why a user may, or may not prefer mobile or the app, and not use a desktop/web browser to edit on the side; I'm sure each user has their own personal reasons, and I'm not much of a mobile user myself, so I can only partly-relate. An important thing I want to stress is that the current Fandom policy is: once discussions are applied to a community, they will not be removed for any reason. So currently and going forward into the future, this wiki is always going to have some traffic being directed to the discussions area whether you like discussions or not. It's a product of Fandom's website design that cannot be avoided.

I can't personally address the Fandom features you and other admins are unhappy with, as I do not play a part in their design whatsoever. However, there is always Special:Contact/feedback, where you can make suggestions/offer feedback (positive or negative) about Fandom features. If several users band together to submit similar feedback, it is possible those suggestions may get more exposure to Fandom staff. - Sitb ( Message wall / Talk page )  10:24, June 18, 2019 (UTC)
