Never let it be said that I am not ecstatic about finally getting dev time for Discussions, we have been waiting literally years for this & the end of the waiting is like a second Christmas. But I think it is absolutely vital that the “place” you provide for editors, is Discussions itself. It must be. If editors are segregated away from the masses in Discussions, then we as editors cannot capitalize on the great thing you have going with Discussions; an influx of users. We can & have translated this influx into more editors, but admittedly only in a trickle, & not because Discussions users are unwilling to become editors but because it is almost impossible to train users to become editors in Discussions. It does not have the capacity for it. If you build a separate feature for us editors to Wiki-build on, then that problem doesn’t go away; Fandom gets its user retention, but powerusers get nothing. We still can’t train new editors. Please don’t leave us out in the dark.
