You change your minds, but never WHEN you announce something; it's always months or years later. I did say I appetite you guys updating the mediawiki version (I will admit I was stunned), and while I've never had the admin issue, I will admit I've heard horror stories, so I am glad your guys are considering a change there.

To be fair I'll admit you guys have been making less annoying choices since the gamepedia merger (in my book), and most of the issues that are coming up at least have a reason vs spontantious change (since all are connected to UCP / organization overhaul.

But it bugs me when you guys say you have changed, and will include us (the editors) in the conversation; then make a big choice like this and don't ask us, just tell us as always. I get your a company with a truly humongous user base and getting input can be tricky, but just looking at analytics is not enough.

@Blueant251: The community, and hosting, and fast response time for normal wiki stuff. I can disagree with thier choices for the future while finding the platform better than making my own; I guess I could always go to thier competitor, gamepedia-- oh wait =p. Honestly other than gamepedia I'm even less impressed with the alternative options other than self hosting which I don't want to do (bots, hackers, no VSTF, hosting/ads, having to put my public name to do hosting/ads, etc).

You seem to have at least asked the question sincerely so I won't get annoyed, but that line of questioning is not usually a good way to have a productive convo online =p
