I know a wiki that's gone independent because of it Completely agree with you, which is why we're doing it now.

Forcing something like this more likely will alienate more people than help the wikias. Two prominent cases would be the YuGiOh wikia and the JoJo wikia. The changes and bad overlay drove these to make their own pages from the ground up. I wish we had waited longer to do the migrations as well, or that we could let people wait for more development, but the more load we put on the UCP the faster we'll be able to identify all the problems with it & fix them, so we're doing it this way. Unfortunately, we cannot allow Wikis to choose, because it is a massive strain to sustain three different platforms at once (UCP, Gamepedia, & Fandom legacy) — we have to shut down platforms until we only have one, so that we can focus all our dev work on making that platform perfect faster. Angelo Gabrini wrote: They won't because fandom cares more about their own agenda than the users It's because we cannot feasibly maintain three different platforms at once, especially during a pandemic that has the entire ad market down massively. load issues I'll pass these along.
