It is a simple fact that very few people are following updates on the wiki, and in any case it's less convenient to have a discussion over there. Moving the discussion to LW is a practical matter, a way of drawing more attention and feedback from the community.

And, to elaborate on the implications of this... If someone writes bullshit on the wiki I will not have the chance to refute it unless I happen to look at it. Then people will go around treating the wiki like an authoritative source when it is actually less reliable than a discussion comment. Which is really damn annoying.
