User blog comment:Cristina7/Introducing Discussions, a New Platform For Engaging Your Community/@comment-749631-20160929033505


 * 1) It lack the ability to embed templates into discussion threads which we are currently using
 * 2) Changes done in these discussion threads won't show in  recent changes or wiki activity which make them hard to track
 * 3) In ja.kancolle.wikia.com, forums are used to keep record of everything have been done about the topic of the wiki. The current proposed format seems unfit for the purpose
 * 4) In kancolle.wikia.com, forum threads are used to summarize game updates by citing numerous different templates which each of them have some info about individual updates and are edited together by every mods. I don't think it would be possible to do that in the new discussion.
 * 5) Also in kancolle.wikia.com, we check who kudo'ed certain reply and check each of those account's eligibility in voting sdome of those forum topic, and it seems to be no longer with this new thing.
 * 6) In zh.kancolle.wikia.com, the discussion feature have been enabled, but as you can see, the only visible thing in the board are questions by visitors, and answers are hidden and nowhere to be seen. Also, speculation, chatting are mixed together with actual info.
 * 7) In wikias like kore.wikia.com, they are still using standard wikia page for forum purpose., how will they be affected?
 * 8) How do we highlight a discussion for all users visiting the wiki in this new system?
