Perhaps the bell will be used for onsite Discussion notifications (users currently get notifications via email though I liked the bell were it was)? Comments (article/blog) are build differently than the Forum and Message Walls in that every comment/reply is a new, unrelated page page whereas comments to threads are attached to the parent comment through by use of header links. Linking directly to a thread reply is much easier than linking to a comment (comment URLs don't always stay the same either, they can act strangely between pages of comments). Fandom has a desire (at least they've mentioned in the past) to update comments and MWs to behaves similar to Discussions and be able to receive notifications (they likely aren't going to modify the current feature to support notifications).
