i mean forums is actually really janked when you get to it (it's based on hacked-together Mediawiki code with modifications that are so problematic they're probably a big reason fandom never updates their mediawiki version), so they're trying to make a new tool except they're making people use it when it's only at around 40% utility compared to forums so far

it'll probably get better if fandom listens to users at least a bit and adds text formatting, more customization, etc.

announcements itself is pretty cool cuz you can link to anything, only issue is big wikis might have trouble with the one-announcement thing. for most wikis it really ought to be just fine, why do you need 6 simultaneous threads for literally everyone to see?
