IIRC, Article Comments, though not perfect, was supposed to be a replacement to talk pages (for articles). In Avatar Wiki, it has mostly replaced talk pages for the film namespace, and also the forum for film articles. There were issues using Articles Comments as means to document consensus so we still use the Forum and others for that.
