User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/Fandom is upgrading to a modern version of MediaWiki/@comment-5785681-20190628202301/@comment-5785681-20190703121111

First point: It's good to know Categories is a v1 version. I'm sure there's a way to improve Categories so that subcategories are a part of it. I'm not a coder, so I can't assist in that regard. I can only suggest that if revamping Dynamic Categories into something more like Classic Categories isn't possible, please let Classic Categories remain an option - a highly visible option.

I also suggest making the registration process an interactive, fun event, with setting up My Preferences automatic with options explained. This would make a new registrant feel more a part of the wiki from the get-go, especially those without any wiki or coding experience. It could tie in with a Welcome Letter and and links to FANDOM University. Experienced editors would get through it in a flash.

Whatever the driving forces beyond this new platform, my request is that those who don't fit the targeted marketing profile be kept in mind. All ages, all genders and all levels of experience with WIKI should be comfortable with the editing process. Jargon is often used as a gatekeeper and, intentional or not, it has no place in a user-friendly format. I know you know that, but many don't.

Anyway, thanks for responding.
