From what I can tell, Gamepedia has no social features that FANDOM legacy or even UCP wikis don't already have. The Project talk page is almost as old as MediaWikis themselves and talk pages are older.

Where you should use FANDOM social features is mostly self-evident:
 * Want to send a message to a particular user: Message Wall or User talk page.
 * Want to comment on a specific page: Comments (which onyl appear at the end of main namespace articles and only on wikis where it is enabled).
 * Want to comment on a specific page whether or not Comments are enabled: Talk pages exist for every type of namespace article (Discussions is not a namespace) except Special pages and Forum.
 * Want to discuss something relative to the wiki topic: Forum (which is going to disappear probably around June) or Discussions. Both can have a variable number of boards or categories for more narrow subtopics.

Gamepedia wikis have this:
 * Talk pages.
 * Some other page re-purposed for discussion, but never specifically designed for it.
 * Possibly some social feature extension, but nothing standardized.
