I have been trying to round up information on any extensions or hacks that extend the discussion features of mediawiki. Apparently there was talk about the WikiForum extension last year ( http:// meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForum ) and possibly some testing of it on the french Wikipedia site ( http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/ wikitech-l/2005-February/thread.html#27692 ), but the page seems to have been abandoned now.
Uncyclopedia has a simple threading solution for its "Village Dump": http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Forum:Village_Dump
I'm not sure which software it is based on. There's also the more powerful forum solution by TaxAlmanac mentioned here earlier: http://www.taxalmanac.org/index.php/Discussion_Forum_Index
At least two people have contacted them about it already, but there's been no reaction yet that I know of.
