One of the purposes of UCP is to put Fandom and Gamepedia on the same platform with more or less the same policies, permissions, etc. However, Gamepedia is being migrated after Fandom and Fandom isn't done yet. So until then, Gamepedia wikis will continue to have some significant differences from Fandom wikis. As with Fandom wikis, if you have a question about a specific wiki, it is best to ask the local community. If you have a question about editing on the Gamepedia platform in general, you can check out the Gamepedia Help Wiki.

A quick bit to address your particular question about discussions. Gamepedia has remained very close to the main branch of MediaWiki. As such, they use talk pages. Not wiki-style/dpl forums, not Forum, not message walls, not article/blog comments, not Discussions. Just plain old talk pages. Talk pages are basically regular pages in namespaces dedicated to discussion. For example, if you have a page "MyPage" and someone wants to ask a question about the content, the add their question to "Talk:MyPage". If you wanted to ask me a question, you would add your question to "User_talk:Andrewds1021". You can look at the dev wiki for an example of user talk pages (here). Per MediaWiki guidelines, each namespace has a corresponding talk namespace. These namespaces exist on Fandom wikis but most of the time, if you try to go to them, Fandom redirects you to their custom discussions feature instead. For example, going to "User_talk:Andrewds1021" here on Community Central will redirect you to "Message_Wall:Andrewds1021".
