They never discussed this and although they keep trying to minimize by saying only a couple thousand sites use this feature, a couple thousand sites is a lot AND it's some of the largest and most active sites on Wikia/Fandom.

I respect they have to make changes and remove unused code and tools, but they should be discussing this type of change with the communities first. The original post makes it appear that this feature is only in use on a tiny minority of wikis. However, as others have pointed out, most wikis are created, have between one and a dozen pages added, then fizzle out (whether because they're spam or vanity wikis, or simply because it turns out there's not very much interest in their subject), hence what features those wikis use or don't use is of little if any relevance. Meanwhile, the Top 10 List feature is used by an estimated 20%–60% of actually-active and growing wikis, so removing it will have a huge impact.
