I would argue to the contrary. While I can't speak for Wikia as a whole, I use topics in nearly every thread (and organize the forum with them). I used to organize threads here as well until Wikia did something to screw up topics on CC. The concept of topics isn't too difficult, especially when you begin typing and see page titles pop up (just like the wiki's search bar). Topics are discussion categories name by the individual article pages. Categories would be less useful because they couldn't reach the same level of detail of the thread's topic.

The problem with topics on CC is largely because only admins can create the pages needed for the topics to work. Also, your argument that you use topics and understand how they work in no way explains how they are intuitive. This is exactly the argument pro-Microsoft users used to defend the horrible Microsoft interfaces (until they couldn't even defend Windows 8, because it went beyond the pale).
