That is correct.

One more thing I want to ask, how were you able to translate some templates into the discussion feature (their layout in the migration)? Also, would it be possible to make links be displayed on words? I find some situations made possible when you have migrated, while I think it is not possible if we comment at the time being.

In the migration of Forum content, it's the HTML that is migrated, not the underlying wikitext. So it's the output of the templates (at the time of migration) that are visible in the Discussions posts. The content is no longer "connected" to the source template.

You're correct that some of the content has attributes (bold, italic, links embedded in text, etc.) that are not yet possible to add in the Discussions editor. This is also due to the migrated HTML. While we do expect to add rich text formatting to the Discussions editor in the future, it's not due to be added in the near future.

This brings me to one warning that is important. Admins and Discussions Moderators have the ability to edit old posts, including migrated posts. If you edit a migrated post, you will see the HTML markup displayed in the editor. When you save the changes, the markup will be stripped (since the editor cannot process it) and the entire post will then appear as plain text. So I don't advise editing migrated content unless it's truly necessary. This issue should be resolved when the Discussions editor is upgraded.

We also noted a bug that we'll be fixing. On the page that displays all posts by a specific user (e.g. http://sonic.wikia.com/d/u/24014422) the migrated content has some display issues.

I see that things seem to be going fairly well, with community discussions happening. Please feel free to let me know if you need anything, of course!
