Face. Palm. I don't even know to start.

Fandom uses MediaWiki. Fandom has always used MediaWiki. This update actually brings it closer back to the vanilla experience.

And Forums were not, by any stretch of the imagination, "fine the way they were". It was hacked MediaWiki, something the WikiMedia Foundations tells you you shouldn't do. Getting rid of chat, another hacked feature, is apparently making Fandom "a social media site"?
