Acer, maybe they meant if one could not wait until early August, one would have to copy to a new wiki made after July 20? ;)

It is a bit of a dog’s breakfast, though. Conceptually, I think that an Admin Dashboard is a brilliant idea, especially for newly minted admins. But, this went from development to being rolled out without enough alpha testing, let alone beta testing. And the impact on RecentChanges is startling.

Anyway, the Dashboard should be optional: Admins that want it, can turn it on in Preferences; Admins that do not want it, can turn it off in Preferences.
