Keep in mind Discussions are still in development. Yeah, you won't be able to use templates and other markup in Discussions the way you did on Wikia, but does it really matter? I believe Discussions use some other markup that's more typical to forums than wikitext. Again, I would rather use wiki-style forums and talkpages, but they are complicated for many other people to understand. You want templates, wikitables, internal links in your posts? Use wiki-style forums. You want a nice environment and easy usage? Use Discussions. Forum is a terrible mix of both and almost a crime against MediaWiki.
