Greetings Gents,

I'd say calling it 'evil' is quite an extreme response. It's not a good update by any stretch but calling it evil is overstating things don't you think?

What we need to do now is focus on fixing things up, starting with returning the envelope icon which at least on my wiki was heavily used for conversations.

We should also fix the notification system as I for one no longer recieve email notifications about activity on the wikis I belong to. To make matters worse the bell icon is cluttered now and is often late about informing me of anything.

I would also say the Recent Activity Tab should be returned to a style similar to what we used to have where comments were clearly defined with an image of the user next to their comment so you could easily see who was talking.

Pay attention @MisterWoodhouse it's pretty well agreed that this update is not good as it has done away with many features that were used and well liked, not to mention the attrocious stylic choices. But if you actually listen as you claim to then you will hear the large sum of users and work with us to fix this. Work with us to make this better instead of steamrolling users with obfuscations and mistruths about the old media wiki being outdated.

The Weary TimeLord.
