Brandon, I still must disagree on that last point. Being able to like a page doesn't necessarily encourage discussion, it's often just nothing more than a show of approval or agreement. In terms of fanon wikis, where pages are usually edited by one or two users, it makes sense as a form of encouragement, but for encyclopedic wikis, where articles are basically the result of dozens of different users transposing content from a canon source, it really does nothing for the page or the users creating it, since the users creating it rarely feel individually responsible for that page, and thus a like on a page means virtually nothing to them. Nor does contribute anything towards improving the clarity or accuracy of the page content.

I see your point on the other matters though, but, as I said, I'm still not thrilled with how it looks at the moment.
