User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/Fandom is upgrading to a modern version of MediaWiki/@comment-25906608-20190620153906/@comment-1038387-20190620154324

MediaWiki is the software on which the wiki runs. Fandom has run on a heavily modified MediaWiki 1.19, whereas the current version is what, 1.32? It adds many new features, improves performance and all kinds of things you can't even imagine.

Think of it as an office finally deciding to update from Windows XP to Windows 10. To certain people, it won't mean a thing - they just need a couple of things and XP worked fine for that. But to many others, it's a reason to celebrate.

Even if you're in the former group, don't hesitate to party along.
