Forum:Message Wall or Discussion

I find that the discussion walls that UCP have become uncomfortable:
 * Doesn't support wiki markup
 * Difficult to moderate
 * Separately you need to follow

Discussions:
 * Tracking from recent edits
 * Supports wiki markup
 * Moderating is much easier (especially with the similarity of the main space)

Cons are based on the inverse of each extension.

Based on this, I want everyone to express what is more necessary for the wiki in the end. Discussion walls, or discussion users themselves.  DDPAT Knife Series talk  15:27, October 24, 2020 (UTC)


 * To clarify, I think you're comparing the old Message Walls to the new Message Walls (Discussions is the interface shown in Help:Discussions). Unfortunately, I think that while the old Message Walls is flexible with wiki markup and shows up in RecentChanges/WikiActivity, we have to give way for new technology that isn't full of bugs and is properly supported and maintained. noreplyz  talk 01:31, October 28, 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm still considering switching walls off on one of the wikis I admin, though, because I think walls have more use cases where things like templates or wikitext are beneficial (i.e. welcomes, block templates, etc, etc, etc). These still can be done on UCP walls, but the amount of things I'm more comfortable using templates or wikitext for are enough to have it under consideration on my part. But, like, talk pages are still a technically-maintained feature so maybe that's not important here. XD - Citrusellaeditswikis (talk) 23:55, October 29, 2020 (UTC)
