I cannot find the discussions on Roblox Wiki, and I assume they either don't exist or I am really stupid. If they exist can someone link me them? And if not would someone explain why they don't?

No bother. It was a legit question.
FYI, they are still using Forum:Index. So if you want to discuss things on that wiki, go there. Just be aware the Forum:Index works like talk pages rather than the threaded discussion features you are probably used to.
Oh thank you!
Heya, admin of that wiki here. We requested to opt out of Discussions and we only use Forum:Index for now. We were planning to re-enable them but we are waiting for Fandom to fix constant-run Discussion bots being able to stay logged in.
When wikis with Special:Forum were originally migrated, wikis were allowed to request to opt out if they did not want Discussions.
You mean before the UCP migration, yes? I don't recall that being offered as an option during the UCP migrations even though Special:Forum migrations were still done separately from the rest of the UCP migration.
Also, are constant-run bots just bot accounts that use the Discussions API or is that actually a server-side thing for special wikis?
Not sure I presume it was the Special:Forum migration. At some point we just asked to not be given Discussions and for our Forum:Index to be unarchived as we wanted to use it instead. We planned to re-enable it later when we had the accommodations to.
Not sure of the specifics. Bots that are meant to be run constantly on Discussions can’t be logged into properly right now and we have not been able to run automod for months on a different wiki. It broke around the time we were planning to work on re enabling Discussions for Roblox Wiki so we have paused our process until it is fixed
Thank you for clarifying that for me. So discussions will come eventually? That's great!
Eventually being whenever they fix bots. Which it has been broken for a while. We plan to keep Forum:Index for wiki editing talk while Discussions will be for certain normal talk about Roblox
Okay. Sounds like you don't know the details I am looking for. Thanks anyways for telling me what you could.
As it stands, Roblox Wiki effectively never got Discussions, regardless of the reasons. There also doesn't seem to be a roadmap or timeline for Discussions to show up either.
Here was a time when FANDOM nicely asked admins whether they wanted Special:Forum to get converted to Discussions, but did not explain the option of just shutting down Special:Forum and not getting Discussions. Some admins who were aware of the option of no Discussions after Special:Forum was removed asked for it.
What do you think?
