No, it's not actionable at all.
 * 1) Wikitext is only a thing in Mediawiki. Thread-based forums were incredibly hacky and unmaintainable and held back updates, so the monolith was broken up. Discussions isn't built on Mediawiki, so wikitext is not a thing. Adding wikitext into Discussions would just create a new unmaintainable mongrel. If they could just add it at the drop of a hat, they would've done so already. That said, I think linking could be improved.
 * 2) Go to Discord. Chat's also an unmaintainable Mediawiki hack. The global numbers do not justify wasting resources on it, and there are more users complaining about it than actually using it.
 * 3) The design is more or less the same. The platform and editors are different.
