User blog comment:Mira Laime/Introducing long-awaited Discussions updates/@comment-3328029-20190330152346

Thank you for at least somewhat learning from your past mistakes and ONLY making this the default for new user accounts; although really I'd prefer you didn't mess with it for anyone.

I understand you are more focused on discussions than wikis (hence your name change to fandom), but for the record this is a HORRIBLE default landing page for a WIKI, even if it's only for logged in users.

I DO like the idea of changing the discussions link to this page however, since as mentioned it serves as a kind of bridge between wikis and the discussion section.

But please stop forcing stuff. Almost all discussions I see are barely relevant to editing anyways, and don't promote people to edit that I see. It might make people return more often (so good for business, don't blame you for it), but no matter how you try to link them, discussions will always be a social networking plugin barely related to the wiki. Not a bad feature, just a harmless yet not really helpful feature (as far as wiki editing).

Edit: I don't really use discussions, but thanks for adding the formatting / mentions thing; credit where credit is due.
