Pros: Cons:
 * A nice, modern and organised design, especially for mobile.
 * Easy to use.
 * Easier to reply.
 * Easier to lock and delete posts.
 * It fits for community apps.
 * There is a FAQ, describing the future of Discussions.
 * Wikitext and JavaScript aren't supported.
 * The notifications aren't specific. For example, "User replied to Discussions!" and not "User replied to "Post name" on Discussions!".
 * It is a replacement for the Forums.
 * Discussions don't appear in WikiActivity or RecentChanges.
 * No highlighting tool. If a wiki admin has something important to say, and Discussions exist and not Forums, then how are you gonna do it?
 * You are forced to click the back button twice if you want to go back from Discussions.
 * The default avatar appears for all users when replying.
 * Not too forum-like.
 * No history tool.
 * No text formatting (e.g. bold, italic etc.).
