User blog comment:Cristina7/Introducing Discussions, a New Platform For Engaging Your Community/@comment-1895174-20160910185259/@comment-27583260-20160910223808

Again, there appears to be a complete misuse and misunderstand of how Discussions actually work. Between the old wiki forums (that we still use in Wookiepedia) and the current Discussions, we have found a way to satisfy pretty much everything.

Now, I can't comment on how each and everyone of you took advantage of Wikitext and what will be missed when Forums are retired, but this is where all of you should be discussing this with the Staff.

For us, because we have taken full control of Discussions, we are seeing very meaningful discussions, as well as creating interest and the sharing of knowledge in creating new contributors.
