@Andrewds1021  I may be out ot luch  but I  believe most  smaller Wiksi did not fully relaize that FORUMS and COMMENTS are the same thing and that once FORUMS are gone they will not be able to comment on pages and will have to defer to DISCUSSIONS and tag pages in there ... It seems to me to be  a major change and our Wiki Admins did not discussed it  at all nor advise people to familiartize themselves with DISCUSSIONS in the lead time to COMMENTS disaopearance.... But then, maybe everyone is resigned and wait for so see what is the replacement  while in the meantime  staying on on the sidelines to see  if Admins of bigger Wikis will rise hell indirectly on their behalf .. Pretty sure over 95% of our Wiki traffic goes through COMMENTS this will highly impact us ...

@Andrewds1021  CATEGORIES would be the equivalent of TOPIC / Sub-topic (so a limited and definite set)  then  the TOC would the "list of subjects" and people woudl "comment" by Editing the the "Subject" selected in the TOC ... There is a possibility I belive to have Article TOC sorted by alphabetical order or chronological order if the modus operandi is to add a "new subject" always as new Heading / Sub-Heading  at the end of  Page or existing Heading (=Subject) ... It is cumbersome but repreoduces what I most often saw in Topical Forums ,,,  People can then follow the "topical oages"  they are interested in .. Howewer Pages wiould grow HUGE on very active forums so they would need to be Copied to  an "archive structure" by week / month    ,,,  Not saying it is a solution. it is just a possible & maybe temporary workaround using what most Editors/Contributors may be more familiar with ... Again this is off the cuff and would need to be properly tested before going any further ...

@Fandyllic  Your "soon" article, reminds me of a Southern saying I heard in Mississippi: "You'll do this sum'day ?  Well sum'day ain't no day of the week !  "
