Board Thread:Support Requests - Getting Technical/@comment-4731443-20150916215409

So I've been looking around, and although the and tags exist, they don't seem to have any documentation anywhere. The latter is barely mentioned at Help:Forum, and if my guess is right the former was used for old "wiki-style" forums placed in a Forum: namespace and is no longer relevant (for most wikias anyway).

Other than generally wondering where documentation for them is, or why there is none, I was wondering if one can use arguments with wikiaforum, such as specifying only certain boards, or a different amount of threads to show, or how much information to include (poster, date/time, title, topics, etc.). I figure that would be useful for a news feed on a main page and favor discussion about such news. But if it's stuck with the header "Forum Activity" and shows everyone's posts about everything, that's not an option.

Alternately, if you can think of other ways to achieve this, I'm all ears. In the meantime, I might link to selected forum threads in a sidebar and update the list manually for every new thread.
