[...] Huh? I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

Discussions, new article comments, new blog comments, and new message walls are all based on the same platform; Feeds. Feeds is completely separate from MediaWiki, the platform that runs everything else. Any integration of the two has to be forced by Fandom using custom code. That is why comments and stuff don't show in places like Recent Changes on UCP wikis.

As for talk pages, I believe you only get a notice when someone posts on your talk page. You can follow other talk pages but you just get an email notice; not a live notice. I think. - Edit:

Also, when migrating to UCP, all content should be migrated to their corresponding replacement. I am aware it's not on MediaWiki. I suggested converting message templates into images, because the Feeds link-preview shows images. I do get the downsides, though.

As it turns out, at least there is a live notice for a new message on my own talk page.

About the migration - I'm not sure whether there is a corresponding replacement for contents in the Thread namespace when message walls are turned off. Fandom didn't prove themselves as thinking about all the situations.
