To all you Discussions defenders... Discussions is clearly inferior until it replaces Forum on Community Central.

I'd like to quickly mention that Community Central is very different from the average wiki. Most wikis use their Forums as a place to discuss about a show, game strategy or ask simple questions about the wiki's content. Community Central is a unique scenario with a much higher need for certain features, like code syntax highlighting, to deliver proper technical support and help. Most wikis use forums for discussion, but since they are all wikis and most of them use some form of wikitext to format their pages, they all need to have a place to help with how to use wikitext. Until we get the "wiki" with no markup, we need forums to support markup rendering. We can't send everyone to CC to get their questions answered.

Other wikis that can't really be tied only to Discussions: Dev wiki, Portability wiki, and Templates wiki

CC isn't the only "special" one.
