 * 1) So why would you expect the &lt;indicator&gt; tag to work? Did you read Help:HTML? You can't assume all HTML will work.
 * 2) Gamepedia is a totally different platform from UCP and you can't compare them.
 * 3) Until it is announce that Scributo on UCP has parity with something like Wikipedia, you can't expect everything to work the same.
 * 4) See #2.

Have you reviewed User:Noreplyz/UCP?
 * 1) I have reviewed User:Noreplyz/UCP, none of the issues listed are mentioned there.
 * 2) Help:HTML is irrelevant. Not only indicator tags aren't final HTML tags (they're tag extensions), indicators are a new feature in vanilla MediaWiki. This feature is specifically intended as a replacement to all the ad-hoc solutions – solutions that some, or many, Fandom wikis use. Indicators are actually used on Gamepedia wikis, but on Fandom!UCP, they silently fail. If it is a problem with UCP itself and not the Oasis skin (which should be fixable anyway), Gamepedia wikis will silently break after the migration.
 * 3) "Gamepedia is a totally different platform from UCP and you can't compare them." Statements of this form are never relevant. The platforms are similar in some specific ways and different in some specific ways. It needs to be explained in detail for each specific case which of these similarities/differences are relevant. Right now you're summarily dismissing valid (not shown to be invalid) concerns about UCP on an immaterial basis.
 * 4) The debug console is a critical feature from vanilla MediaWiki that is also present on legacy Fandom.
 * 5) "Until it is announce that Scributo on UCP has parity with something like Wikipedia, you can't expect everything to work the same." No relevance. The three functions listed are critical for module debugging, and work in vanilla MediaWiki (though probably only with the 2010 editor). They work on Gamepedia now, and their absence will be a major regression that would become critical if the debug console is also absent.
 * 6) "See #2" – see the explanation why your dismissal of #2 is irrelevant.
