If you wish to switch from Discussions to DPLforum, from what I know you need to a) contact staff (the "switch" used to be turning off forums; you don't have control over whether Discussions is on or off) and b) can't switch off Discussions if it's already been turned on, only ask staff to re-enable DPLforums' forum namespace since the "switch" to do so is inaccessible to you.

So many things wrong with this...

There is no "switch from Discussions to DPLforum"... They are independent of each other. Also FANDOM staff has generally stated they won't help much if at all setting up DPLforum.

I believe wiki admins can request Discussions be disabled or at least I've seen some UCP wikis that had it get it removed.

I feel the need to clarify even though it's already been clarified:

A was meant to refer to DPLforums archived due to having the forum extension on, which is a characteristic that persists past Discussion migrations and AFAICT into UCP as well--information on unarchiving that I was told directly by staff when I asked a hypothetical regarding it (and which MisterWoodhouse has confirmed). I thought it might have been referring to a wiki that had previously had the forum extension and was migrated to Discussions.

B was meant to refer to the fact that I thought Discussions were undisable-able if they existed. If that part's wrong then things have just changed since the last time I've looked into it. XP (And I'm glad I'm wrong, if so. Choice is nice.)
