You don't force everyone who makes a new wiki into beta, that's just bullsh!t. Just because we're used to FANDOM doing it, doesn't mean it should be acceptable.

Here's my advice to those who want to make a new wiki: wait. You may have to wait 3-6 months, but UCP phase 1 is pretty bad and if FANDOM keeps their promises, Phase 2 should be loads better. But that doesn't make Phase 1 good. EXACTLY.

honestly might revert the whole ucp change as a whole tbh

in january 2016, wikia launched a news site called fandom and not even a year later, wikia is remamed to fandom

and fandom gets new workers and staff and it all comes to the point where fandom was to merge with gamepedia because of staff ideas i suppose?

the fandom renaming update in general was the very thing that led to the events of the ultimate death of wikia, the ucp

will it remain ucp or will it have another name?

i expected less noticeable changes from this update, you know. turns out it’s gonna make people leave (probs including me i don’t know tbh) i guess
