I might be a little wrong here, but it's all part of FANDOM's goal of modernizing Wikia. One of the biggest that makes Discussions different than Forums is that wikitext isn't supported. I think FANDOM is trying to move away from wikitext. On the 13 Reasons Why Wiki, FANDOM is working on an editor called Lucy that will completely replace source mode/classic editor.
