Good examples are the new aweful message system, anything that is related to gallery/image bugs and looks, templates breaking due to not being compatible etc.

Fun Fact: One can not upload .png and .jpg with the same name anymore.

What bothers me about it is that it feels like instead of a well-worked out migration with prior testing having gone into it, fandoms are basically being used as testing ground to migrate "more important" wikis after all bugs have been sorted out. The commununity wiki is a great example for that.

And I could overlook the very useful "recent activity" being gone, the video and image upload having been merged and are thus far less comfortable to navigate, the message system not having a source editor anymor etc. but when everything is also riddled with bugs it is too much and not just "people will always complain about change".

And as I see being "my prior occupation" and "company decision" being thrown around, lets not forget that a fandom wiki, and fandom in general, is very dependend on the users keeping them appealing with free work on them. If everything suddenly is downgraded with bugs and looks unappealing why should users invest their free time to work hours on articles?
