In Community Connect US, staff announced their intent to bring the full Wikia experience to mobile, also upgrading Mercury with custom wiki theming. The Discussions feature, an open beta which staff are taking constructive feedback on, is to be the new forum software that the old forums & data will be converted to. It seems almost natural that mobile chat development is coming up next after mobile forums.

In the potential event that Wikia redevelops the whole chat experience to make it compatible with the mobile view, I really hope that the rebuilding option results in further improved prospects for brilliant new features like moderation on the go so that Wikia sysops & chat mods can keep up with the influx of mobile chat visitors. There are quite a few things vanilla chat on Wikia could use right now, like switching between multiple chats in the same instance and visually informing users of PM more quickly.
