Forum:CB Wikis closed

Why these CB wikis closed as an abandoned project that did not use MediaWiki?
 * The Community Builder wikis were closed because they were likely going to have a difficult time moving to the new platform, although I can’t exactly confirm that. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/upncbs-wiki/images/9/92/Paramount_Pictures.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/90 Paramount1106   Contact me here   Sign my guestbook  07:50, 2 February 2021 (UTC)


 * From what I gather, Wiki Managers had to copy paste salvageable content to new wikis, and the rest was deleted. --Tupka217 (talk) 11:23, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

 * If I recall correctly, Community Builder was Fandom's initial attempt at making a modernized mobile-friendly platform with an easy editing interface for novice users. For whatever reason, they decided to try building their own software and it proved more troublesome than they had anticipated. However, modernizing was still a good idea as the main platform was woefully outdated. The purpose of UCP is to bring all wikis onto the same modernized platform so that Fandom maintains one codebase instead of multiple. This means significant savings in terms of money and other resources. It is based on a newer version of the older software so Fandom can rely on its prior expertise as well as the wider community supporting the software. Given that the purpose is to consolidate onto a single platform, it makes no sense to let any wiki remain on an older platform. Therefore, all communities using Community Builder, the question-based platform (I am not sure what the name is), and the legacy main platform are being (and have mostly already been) either migrated to UCP or closed. It isn't just Community Builder, even the legacy main platform which is an older version of the same software has been converted.
