Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-24851773-20171116020508

Hello all! I'm Jamie from FANDOM's Community Development team! This conversation starting on Dantman's talk page and now I'm taking it here. We wanted to know if this community would be interested in turning on the Discussions feature for this community, and possibly 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.

To be clear, we do not need to migrate now. We are very happy to turn on discussions here and in the app and have them live side-by-side with forums.

Thank you!
