Board Thread:New on Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle Wikia/@comment-2113997-20191027005028

The Forums, what you're reading right now, will be removed as Fandom migrates to the Unified Community Platform (while some other features depending on the same code base will be migrated). This migration will haven somewhere mid-January. The replacement for the Forums is "Discussions". This migration and removal of Forum will be across all wikis and sadly can't be stopped.

Please read the linked article for more information.
 * The first specifics on the Unified Community Platform
 * Forum retirement: Ask your questions here!

We announced today that in preparation for the Unified Community Platform, we will need to |retire threaded forums. This will happen by mid-January next year.

If your wiki is still actively using forums, you likely have questions on what will happen specifically when the current threaded forums are, at long last, removed from Fandom and fully replaced by Discussions, and/or the alternative for those dependent on wikitext: DPL forums. Please ask them here! If many of you are wondering about the same details, I'll edit this post later to include the most frequently asked questions and their answers right here at the top.

 
 * 1) All thread-based discussion features (Special:Forum, article comments, blog comments, and message walls) are unique to Wikia, are not maintainable, and will be removed moving forward.
 * 2) Each feature will be removed once Wikia has developed what it feels is a viable alternative.
 * 3) The "viable" alternative for Special:Forum is Discussions. They are still in the design/planning phase for the other replacements.
 * 4) Migration from a given thread-based feature to its replacement will be automated. If you are happy with the replacement, you don't need to lift a finger.
 * 5) Migration to any other feature (ex. DPL Forum) is the responsability of the wiki; Wikia does not plan on providing support or an automated script.
 * 6) Specific to the conversion of Special:Forum
 * 7) *All messages will have a final HTML rendering made and that HTML will be what gets posted in Discussions.
 * 8) *Because of the limimted HTML whitelist for Discussions (even stricter than that for MediaWiki), content that uses wikitext will, effectvely, not be editable. The reason is that resaving the message will pass it though the content filter (which is bypassed during the migration process). The filter is likely to remove tags that are critical to the appearance of the post.
 * 9) *New posts made in Discussions will not be able to use wikitext. This includes the familiar link syntax, images uploaded to the main portion of the wiki, templates, parserfunctions, MeidaWiki table syntaxt, etc.
