Klaud12, I would bet that isn't an exaggeration. Most wikis didn't ask for UCP and there are a lot of users (admins and others) who are going hysterical over this. This would not be the first time users have threatened to leave Fandom as a result of a design change and it probably won't be the last. However, I am also willing to bet that a good number of them aren't going to actually do it and, among those that do, a decent number are going to come back after a while. For a lot of users, it is just a matter of dealing with the shock. It is like all of those US celebrities that vowed to emigrate if Trump won in 2016. He did and how many of them actually emigrated?

Also, I don't know why you feel like you need to drag me into this. We have been helping users with issues ever since UCP was first rolled out in March. For the past while, I have been averaging at least 5 new threads a day; most of them UCP-related. Yes, it isn't the same as actually having a wiki migrated but you get to see a lot. In fact, users should be glad our wikis haven't been migrated. If they had been, we would be busy fixing our own wikis instead of sitting around here helping the many users who don't know how to fix it themselves.

Lastly, I know it seems rude to tell someone to "just get over it". However, giving them lies and false hope won't help either. Fandom is clearly not going to go back on this decision so the only thing holding out hope does is make the disappointment even greater later down the line. How would you feel if, for months, you had delayed fixing the issues and reworking broken parts because you had hope the decision would be reversed and now you finally come to the realization that it won't be. Not only that, but now you are months behind in fixing your wiki.
