Great job guys, great job.

I have a suggestion for Discussions:

Staff already said that they are making Discussions closer to the wiki, so I can check that off my list of wants.

I want Discussions to have some kind of coding system, so you can, for example, mask links like this instead of having to go like https://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Americhino <= this.

It's fine by me if it's not MediaWiki, but I'd prefer it to be an easy-to-learn language. HTML, for example. What is the use? No coding system in the world can alter the fact that Discussions looks like a social media rip-off. There is also no way to quickly go to a specified "thread" in Discussions. If someone posts something in a followed post in Discussions, how does anyone know if that happens (I mean, no one person is online literally all day unless they are bots or they are humans that are stupid enough to assume that they can function normally for more than a day without sleep)? Trick question: They don't. Notifications is absolutely incompatible with Discussions, and therefore what the hell is the use of that function when the ugly-looking Discussions and the even uglier-looking "User Discussions" has no way of notifying you when someone has posted there, and by the time the user thinks of checking the things him/herself, days would've already passed. Whereas, the good old Special:Forum goes extremely well with Notifications, and even has the ability to highlight. Also, it actually looks like a well-designed, well-organized forum of which the basic functions are easy-to-use for newbies. There is so much evidence that Special:Forum is far better than Discussions in virtually every single way, yet  Fandumb powered by Wikia completely ignores this and comes up with more LIES in an attempt to MISLEAD us.
