Much of FANDOM has already left. I did what the other guy said to do and kept editing the legacy wiki. But, i paid my new wiki a visit and realized I'm much less productive on the UCP theme.

In my opinion, Enforced live beta is just many companies' excuses for site-destroying bugs to be passed through and many features to be gone while they create the new thing which didn't need replaced anyway and now looks and acts worse.

If fandom has 50m people on it, then probably atleast 1M has left. I've noticed popular wikis have had a minor surge which seems to get worse.

And semi-popular wikis like my wiki about algodoo have had major surges recently after the UCP update. Many wikis are having surges that range from minor to major.

FANDOM is still very much so alive, but if it wants to survive, it should:

A. Stop enforcing live beta (in my opinion that's not very smart anyway, unless it's before the official release of the first version, in this case it is an unnecessary ELB (enforced live beta))

B. Move the top edit panel to the side like it used to be

C. Fix the default top navigation

D. Make it so that the top half of Recent Changes isn't flooded with tags and stuff.

E. Methods B, C, and D

Even if they don't stop the ELB, I'd still be happy if they did B, C, D, or E.

On new wikis, I honestly feel like i'm on some knockoff of FANDOM.

Don't get me wrong, FANDOM has improved UCP a ton since this thread started but it's still very uncomfortable to write in such a giant, blocky, basic-looking editor.
