User blog comment:Cristina7/Introducing Discussions, a New Platform For Engaging Your Community/@comment-1387259-20160910013028/@comment-26402117-20160910014648

I strongly think that this angle of criticism pulls away from what's wrong with Discussions to a heated attack on Wikia's development. The wikis are not going anywhere and they're still of importance to Wikia - look at this blog.

You can't just ostracise mobile readers from certain corners of the mobile experience. This is a beta product, its not yet complete. Wikia does not intend to damage users' experiences with an early rollout - & needs feedback.

The old board format for categories in Discussions would be very nice, to ensure less friction between roleplay and wiki discussion. It does need improved moderation tools, and it does need upgrades to the desktop layout.
