Aye. When I sent in a request for a Community App I wasn’t aware of this, & so they just enabled it without even asking me. They didn’t say “hey you need Discussions enabled to get it, would you like to enable it?” They just did it. I’m not particularly miffed, because we have Forum & it was bound to be replaced by Discussions inevitably, & we did get a Mobile App out of it (which I asked for in the first place), but it still should’ve been a choice. If a Wiki is large & doesn’t want a Mobile App if it means they have to enable Discussions, then they should have the option to say “no”. Otherwise “community rule” is 100% pretense. This is certainly problematic. I would hope Fandom would come out and apologize for this and actually warn communities in contact emails that Discussions will be enabled if they really want to go through with having a Community App. Just going ahead with it without warning and an option to back out is not what they should have done at all.
