So a few days ago I got this message on my wall from a member of Fandom:
Hey Piierogii! I'm Jamie from FANDOM's Community Development team! Not sure if we never asked you if you are interested in turning on the Discussions feature for this community, and migrating the Threaded Forums across as well.
In case you are unaware of the feature, Discussions was introduced last year to help communities engage with users and fans. It lives in its own space on the wiki and allows users to interact with other members of the community. It is also mobile friendly and gives mobile users a chance to contribute and engage with the community, and possibly turn them into wiki editors as well. Discussions also links with our FANDOM Apps, which this community has and it allows app users to easily take part in Discussions as well. You can read more about Discussions here.
For more information on migrating forums to Discussions, you can check out this blog over on Community Central that explains everything in detail.
If you have some concerns, Discussions, and Forums can exist side-by-side in case you do not want to migrate just yet. However, eventually all Forums will be migrated over to Discussions and Forums will be sunsetted as a feature, so getting ahead of the curve is never a bad idea.
This leaves me with a decision that will change the format of the wiki. It will be a big change, and I know to do so without consulting you first would be a bad move, since by the sounds of it, it's irreversible. So, once you've read the message above, please can you express your thoughts on the changes. If we do this now, we will no longer have forums in the near future. This will happen anyway, but I still want to hear your thoughts on the matter, since you all use this website as much as me, and it will affect you just as much.
Once we've discussed it here, I will then discuss it with the staff to decide when we want these changes implemented, so please let your voice be heard now.
