Heyo! The UCP was supposed to be ONLY a mediawiki upgrade... by which, i meant the editor and the userpage. Does message wall look like mediawiki to you?

So, why I want wikitext on message walls: because what if you're typing something serious or even related to wikitext? NONONO, with lack of wikitext you have to make an ARTICLE just so you can show it. As for talk pages... i know talk pages are a thing, but if some idiotic vandalist comes and tries to delete everything from my talk page, he/she can do that on my talk page, but not on walls. Same for Comments and Discussions; design change or no design change, you can't just take wikitext away. And, as for editing your own messages/comments/etc., you just CAN'T. So do we really have to type out "Dear, you've been blocked for ." instead of just ? Wikitext has been part of these features for years, if not decades. UCP can't just take that away as well like "hippity hoppity your fun is my property"!

And, as for the userpage... you can't just put a "BIO" there, you need to put back the "i was born on", "i live in", etc. buttons.

And as for the missing features... A MEDIAWIKI UPGRADE DOES NOT MEAN YOU NEED TO REMOVE EVERY SINGLE LIVING FEATURE THINGIE. Like, does THIS look like a complete project? NO. Incomplete stuff should never be released that soon.

And, yes, more people dislike the UCP than like it, here is proof just so you can see. In fact, I don't understand how anyone could even remotely like a downdate like UCP.

I know outdated stuff and whatever, but... UPGRADING!!! upgrading the features would be better than "bye bye features"!

These are just some of my problems with the UCP.
