Hello!

Discussions is a feature that was released September 8th, 2016 that has replaced Forums on all of the wikis created on after a certain period on Fandom.

The reason why Fandom replaced Forums with Discussions is because there were multiple architectural flaws -- such as inaccessibility from Search and portability (mobile compatibility) -- as well as numerous other problems. They then decided that there was only one way to truly address this problem, and that was to rebuild a version of Forums from scratch. And they did! They released the feature in September 8, 2016.

That being said, this wiki was created on October 24, 2016. That was a little after that period where Forums were considered the default which means Discussions were no.

Unfortunately, there is no way to get Forums back on wikis created after this date. Many are against it, but to be honest (and fortunately), Discussions has the same purpose as Forums did. And to me, it is a more modern and quicker. Of course, it lacks some features, but Forums lacks some very good features Discussions has. And I am sure Fandom is working hard to restoring those same features but yet in a more stable way.

Hope this helps you and happy editing!
