Community Central is its own wiki and will stay just like all the other wikis. What is being retired is Forum.

On legacy wikis, there are 3 ways users can have discussions: These are custom extensions that Fandom added to the platform many years ago. MediaWiki, the core program of the platform, natively supports talk pages.
 * 1) Forum
 * 2) *This is what we are using for this discussion right now.
 * 3) Comments
 * 4) *Like Forum but found at the bottom of an article or blog page.
 * 5) Message Wall
 * 6) *Like Forum but found on user-specific pages and intended for conversations with a particular user.

Forum, Comments, and Message Wall are not mobile-friendly so Fandom is replacing them with Discussions, new Comments, and new Message Wall. Discussions has been around for 4+ years. New Message Wall come out with UCP. New Comments is still under development but will probably be similar to Discussions and new Message Wall.
