It doesn't count as a wiki contribution because it's not built on MediaWiki. It's not a design flaw - it's deliberate. Building a discussion forum using MediaWiki (a format not intended to build a discussion forum out of) turned out to be the design flaw (or at least, poor decision) in the long run. At the time, it worked, but as needs and practices change, new steps had to be taken. And rigorous ones at that, as simply patching the existing format would end up with more duct tape than code.
