User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/Profile and Message Wall on the Unified Community Platform/@comment-26397550-20200305173549

A lot of wikis I work on, mostly related to Roblox or specific games on Roblox, heavily rely on using templates and BlockMessages to handle warnings and block notifications via message walls on our wikis. BlockMessages is pretty self-explanatory, but warnings are very common on younger-audience wikis and we have been using templates to not have to refer back to a huge list of text to copy-paste and instead can just call to a template or template parameter. If wikitext is being removed from message walls, is this indication we will forcibly have to switch to talk pages to retain even part of this functionality?

Side comments, somewhat related...
 * When will the previously-stated opportunity to offer feedback and suggestions on Discussions be available, or is this waiting for when the prior changes announced recently are shown before it's being opened?
 * Are the global notifications (currently "bell" and "letter" icons on the top bar) going to stay split this way, where the bell is for Discussions, and the letter is for message walls and the like? I don't like the idea of casual and serious discussion being combined into a single notification dropdown again; it feels like two things that really need to be split.

Thank you.
