User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/Fandom is upgrading to a modern version of MediaWiki/@comment-5785681-20190620213154

If it's necessary, it's necessary. The one feature that I think needs to disappear is DISCORD. It allows for conversations that aren't openly seen by all members of the wiki community and that is against the philosophy of Wiki as I've always known it. I realize it's a popular tool for Gamers but it still flies in the face of Wiki's "everybody sees everything" idea. That idea is what makes and has made Wikis a unique platform and a democratic one -- truly a community based fansite. Once people can begin to speak onsite through the wiki itself, without others knowing the content and without a record of it within the wiki, the concept is diluted and democratic process is lost.

Please consider ditching the use of DISCORD on all wikis in the future or make all DISCORD content viewable, just as all email and forums are viewable on the wiki now.
