I don't even understand why staff migrated like 80% of their communities to discussions if it isn't even complete yet. I know they're not converting any more communities as of now (unless the communities request discussions) but I can easily see the cons of no wikitext easily.

When a new feature gets released, it should be better than the previous one. Currently, there are things on forums that discussions does not have. Including: Tupka217 wrote: You can link things in Discussions, but only via URLs. No bolding, italics, tags or anything else at the moment (and probably not in the future either). You might want to think of ways to adjust your way of communicating so that it doesn't rely so heavily on wikitext.

If a feature cannot meet the expectations a community needs, then it is unfit to be implemented site-wide. Mainly saying this as staff have not put enough attention on discussions. Also considering what Tupka said about "probably not in the future either." I'm not saying discussions is bad. I'm saying before discussions even got released, or forced, or endorsed by staff, it should surpass the qualities the forum offers. Hopefully, it will in the future. I don't know.
