On the Dragon Age Wiki discussions that I moderate, I’ve literally seen people turn down Discord because they like Discussions more. You & Utkar talk of glitches but I have yet to see either of you actually verify/demonstrate any of them, & the few actual bugs I’ve found in Discussions were minor & got fixed by FANDOM. The slowness they also fixed by upgrading to a stronger engine quite recently. Grudgeholderr wrote: WikiText and HTML in any form is not allowed, and you need to copy a whole link to post it. Remember, we’re talking about newcomers. How many newcomers do you think know Wikitext or HTML? Now, how many newcomers do you think know how to copy-paste a link? ;) Discussions is glaringly obvious as the superior feature for entry-level users who don’t know about how a Wiki works. How many times have you seen new users type   & have it end up like this?



This is because newcomers don’t know Wikitext, & even in comments this hinders them. This is why across FANDOM, Discussions have been more active than Forum ever was, because entry-level users can join in droves. This statistical fact alone proves what DroneDestroyer said of be 100% correct. Discussions needs a lot of development before it’ll be viable, I agree, but even in its half-baked state, it’s kicking ass just fine.
