Board Thread:New Features/@comment-29253708-20200403215833/@comment-168424-20200415012115

Just to be clear, FANDOM staff takes the position that wikitext support is "impractical, inefficient, and not worth the effort", but they have never given a convincing argument as to why. It mostly comes down to that they don't really have the expertise or resources and don't plan to get them.

Discussions is missing plenty of features without talking about wikitext support, so it really is more about FANDOM just not thinking Discussions needs certain features likely because they don't drive any revenue. As a Discussions moderator of pretty active boards, Discussions is a real pain to moderate, but FANDOM staff doesn't seem to make that job easier either.
