That's nice and all, but who "needs them most"? Who would decide? For one, it's a place like Dev, Central or Portability. To another, it's their RP forum that relies heavily on templates and everything is RUINED forever if they have to change even a tiny bit. When I say "communities that need them most," I'm talking about keeping the feature available in general for communities that rely on forum features that are unique to the forum.

Therefore, communities can request to implement the forum if their reasons are legitimate concerns to staff. That way, the transition would work for everyone and wouldn't hinder the experiences of those who need the forum, including those central wikis you just mentioned.

But what if their concerns are not legitimate to staff? In the strictest, strictest sense, very few wikis actually need Forums over Discussions.
