User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/The first migrations to the Unified Community Platform/@comment-10390252-20200813084202

So, you know that the new Discussions-like system won't be able to provide as good a user experience as the existing wikitext-utiliising comments and forums system but you're still planning to change it and then 'fix' the multitude of incompatibilities, problems and reduced quality-of-service at some unspecified later date when you have figured out to do it (if you can and if your budget doesn't get cut immediately after the migration).

You're setting yourself up for all this because... reasons? Is it cheaper? Did some senior executive buy UCP and are ordering you to use it even though you know it won't work properly?

Ever since  FANDOM took over Wikia, it's just been a long saga of downgrades, meddling in communities and a clear and unstated policy of "Users don't matter".
