User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/Fandom is upgrading to a modern version of MediaWiki/@comment-1807002-20190620184037/@comment-1807002-20190620185325

"All of this contributed to the feeling that Fandom doesn’t care about editors. We have always cared about our users, but actions speak louder than words. There wasn’t enough support for the editor experience. It ties into another piece of Council feedback, Lack of Focus, with users feeling that we’ve taken the wiki experience for granted and developed in ways that were at the expense of editors."

"We’ll be here to solicit user input in addition to updating you on our progress."
