User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/Pausing UCP migrations to resolve some critical blockers/@comment-2113997-20200831174604

Since our wiki sort of works together with the French version and a fake version we had a small view into the changes made to those 2 wikis with the UCP. Our main wiki hasn't been migrated yet.

Meanwhile we noticed tabview was removed. As an example we have a Tier List for categories for the game our wiki is based on. There are about 68 categories currently, which expand nearly every month by 1 or 2. We collected them with tabview on a main page so users could check that page while editors actually edit each page individually. Since tabview was a blessing for that we used tabview. A few days ago I prepared the page with tabber which failed because of the templates exceeded the page limit. I'm not sure if there is a way to increase this limit? Since the tabber didn't work I created a small template that leads the user to each individual page in stead. In doing so I have gotten several complaints that users are annoyed they need to be redirected to another page again. (I haven't checked complaints yet today though).

Another sad change is the forums changing to discussions. I'm still very very much against this. Discussions is in no way an improvement of forums. Even the condensed view doesn't cut it. For example we've created on idea template so users can create their own card ideas with only inputting their values in stead of creating a table and everything else each time. This template doesn't work in discussions. Pages can't be linked without using the full link, images can't be linked back to the wiki,... Isn't their a possibility to built a new forum from the ground up on the UCP? Our wiki is extremely heavily forum based.

Another issue that already exists on the legacy platform is gif and apng size. They have a limit of 10mb. With the last update of the game we have an gif and apng that exceeds the limit (19-20mb). Can this limit be increased or is this for a reason? The same happens when we add a gif for the header graphic.

I'm sorry for such a long wall of text. Just wanted to point a few things out.
