User blog comment:Ciencia Al Poder/Portable Infoboxes, the first step into Wikia taking control over our content/@comment-27345308-20170501185024/@comment-27345308-20170501201523

That's true, Wikia used to make a lot of features they will abandon after a few years (like Forum, Achievements, Polls and most of stuff that was or currently is in Special:WikiFeatures) but I feel like they turned to developing things that actually aren't bad ideas in the past few months. That's probably just my opinion, though. I remember somebody mentioning they will abandon Mercury and make a new mobile skin instead of it. Hopefully that doesn't turn out as bad as Mercury currently.

Although, the team working on the mobile skin currently seems occupied with doing "wiki modernization" stuff so I guess we won't be seeing any big updates to it soon. The fact that they separated the team that adapts the wiki content to the mobile skin from the team that's actually developing the mobile skin does seem a bit odd, but (at least to me) it's kind of understandable because adapting the content doesn't require actual programming.
