If I recall correctly, this migration halt has been mentioned in previous threads. However, it is always nice to have it in a formalized statement.

For those who may have gotten an incorrect impression of my position from past discussions, I am not against making things easier for casual users. However, as acknowledged by staff (even before this thread), it should not necessarily come at the expense of needed functionality.

I agree with Ursuul that, ideally, editors and casual users would use the same feature for discussions. That being said, I don't think the separation is that detrimental. I highly doubt casual users are going to bother reading the technical-oriented stuff anyways. As for editors participating in casual discussions, well, that is up to them. As editors, I am guessing they would be well aware Discussions. - Edit:

Also, the separation is not necessarily permanent. It is just while Wikia figures out if/how to incorporate necessary features into Discussions.
