What kind of timeline are we talking about for the change? Weeks or months?

It would also be helpful to know when a wiki can start preparing for the change. I know you're in beta test right now, but for a wiki that has custom menus and style sheets, knowing that on X date we could get a list of what changes will need to be made would reassure a lot of people.

Right now, most people are seeing this as a change that is being forced on them and more than a few are probably dreading waking up one day and discovering their wiki is broken. Planning, preparation and communication will prevent a mad scramble to try to modify wikis after the change goes live to make them work again.
