Keep it. I suggest that it would be very efficient IF there were at least 1 or 2 chat mods (2 would obviously be better). If possible, I think it would be more productive if only people can join the chat if there's at least a chat mod... (I know this would be hard to do because it is the wikia's template). (Another cool way [if possible] is to "block" a person on the chat. They would be able to SEE the conversation, but not participate in it for a certain time [similar to being temporarily banned from the wikia).

Another reason to why it's useful is if an incident like katydidit happened again ( I don't like using this example). Rather than posting on an admin's wall about a "situation" this person this person could immediately contact a chat mod/ admin on the chat. This is better because posting publicly on an admin's wall can create insecure situations.

It does help keep spamming on the wikia to a minimal, at least.
