With  the demise of the verbatim tag what if any replacement will we get?
 * No need to mention twitter I know your working on that and the email (dated: September 8, 2015) I received claimed it should go live with in the next ten days.

Some of us use it for other things besides twitter, I'm fed up with every reference to the verbatim tag is we are working on a new way to embed twitter.

Some other things I use it for include:
 * Using the embed code provide by BBC iPLayer to embed clips related to TV shows my wikis' references.
 * Using the embed code provide by embed.ly, flickr, spotify and WeHeartIt, etc.

When will you be Informing us of what if any wide ranging embed option you will be giving users?

When will you let us at least rename (move) and delete the widgets we have created for use with the verbatim tag as by changing some to templates I and other user may be able to change the code to make them work?

Finally how much of this is really to do with security of wikia? and not just a way to force users into creating more generic mobile friendly wikis as we are all aware that your current obsession is with mobile devices.

It's a shame you don't seem to value the individuality of wikis and the imaginative way they are used.
