I'd like to request, then, at least make it easier to transfer the images over. Perhaps allow admins of wikis (such as ours) to upload more than 20 images at once through MultiUpload. Maybe not permanantly, but at least temporarily, so that we can bring the emotes over quicker.

Also, quick question: Did the team think of the legal implications of forcing users to upload the images to Wikia? Perhaps some websites hosting the images were fine with them being used as emotes so long as they stayed on their servers and was not uploaded to Wikia. Just a thought.

EDIT: Communication should be a priority, but I understand why it wasn't brought up before the change. Thanks for at least being honest about it.
