well the trading page used to be a forum but most of them are now archived, here's an example. The problem with wiki's forum is that it is hard to use and you can't post in mobile view. That's why i moved it to a page and make use of the article comment section as it is today. Trading blogs can be used to make offers stay up longer but i think Gree forum is a better place for that.

tbh i think we have exhausted most of the features in Mediawiki(the software wikia is running on) to run trades, after all a wiki is meant to be a place to share information with articles and mediawiki is designed for that. There'r limitations to what we can change, and Mediawiki do not support phpBB style forums. The trading page was created initially to prevent others from spamming article pages with trade offers so it is just a small part of the wiki.
