Thank you for your response and clarification, Witnessme. I hope you can understand my concerns, and why I needed that possibility to be addressed. No, you do not need to revert back all the changes.

One of my issues with Discussions is that it will need to be monitored, and there's no easy way for me, even as an admin, to do that. Posts in Discussions do not appear in Recent Wiki Activity or Wiki Changes, for instance. I have little interest in engaging there personally, and I doubt it will get much use, so I'm not inclined to check it out for enjoyment. Only obligation. We're a small group; I can count our regulars on one hand even when I define "regulars" very generously. We just don't have the community for a feature like that. Discussions feels more like a burden.

And maybe I'm old school, but I like wikis to be a place to, well, edit wikis. Discussions isn't about that. We don't have the forum or comments enabled for the same reason we're not interested in Discussions.

So I am displeased that Discussions has been activated without our permission or approval, especially since you say it will not be removed now that it's active. You gave your word that any changes you made could be reverted, but this change can't be. Perhaps it didn't seem like a big deal, but from my point of view, it is. I hope you will be clearer with other wikis going forward, and I hope some of these concerns with the feature (such as being able to disable it, and being able to better monitor it) will be addressed in the design in the future.
