- Long message warning. KarlMarx69 wrote: forums 2．0 sounds great but what about highlighting? also, what is the diacusions feature? There are four ways to get around the lack of highlighting. Then follow the instructions here. It's far more complex to use then the above options, but it does allow for sending multiple, seperate notifications, something the easier WikiaNotification can't do.
 * 1) If Discussions are enabled, make an announcement.
 * 2) Use WikiaNotification
 * 3) Place the following code in a JS page:

Or just edit the Community Corner, althought I disrecommended that due to its basic nature and lack of options and efficiency.

As for what Discussions is, it's FANDOM's replacement for the Forum that lacks alot of Forum functions, including HTML/wikitext formatting, templates, quoting and other stuff. It is not possible to customize them in any way. They are blocked out from all JavaScript and CSS, meaning you're forced to use and accept them as they are. They're forcing it onto every single wiki there is, that has ever existed and that ever will exist. There is no choice. It is not possible to not have them eventually.

Anyways, now for my thoughts. I absolutely support this idea. IMO, the Discussions are garbage, and I flat-out refuse to use them in any possible way. I already used the exact method Prism used before on my other wikis - using the Message Walls of nonexistant users - and it worked out great!

I am in complete support of the Forum 2.0.
