This UCP was completely vaporized everything I’ve loved on FANDOM. I’m not the only one who thinks this. NOBODY LIKES UCP. I wrote a blog post about this, but no one listens. My wiki has not yet been migrated, but when it is, as might just leave FANDOM. To all the admins on this wiki, you sure messed up. Big time. Have you seen what it looks like? When total migration is complete, you might lose 70% of your users. You restricted blogs because everyone is complaining about UCP, meaning nobody's complained about updates in the past, meaning you must be doing something wrong. I have attached my blog below:

Hey, guys, I'm Baghead11, but right now I'm Elf-Man.

I have been on FANDOM for about two years. What attracted me here first was The Amazing World of Gumball Wiki. Because I was a beginner, I loved the simple-ness of the editor and the way Recent Changes were put down. I grew attached to those all the way through my "career". I even now have my own wiki.

However, my wiki will be migrating to UCP within the next few weeks. From what I have seen on other wikis, the UCP could really mess up my wiki. The staff from the Gumball Wiki hate the update. The editor is awful and complicated. Templates that were once employed do not work. Polls that were used day and night now do not work either. I've used Recent Changes all my time here, and now I cannot even find it. Yes, I know where it went, and yes, I know the substitute, but I don’t like it. Chat is being removed, too, and it was a great convenience for me because Discord doesn't work right on my primary device.

The first place I viewed this update was on a friend's wiki. I couldn't navigate anywhere, the pages were hard to edit, and no templates worked. My wiki is in trouble if I can't find my way to where I need to go. Moderators of all kinds will never moderate everything, because the Recent Changes doesn't show everything anymore. Worst of all, now I will not know where or when I have messages on my message wall. Why remove it from the top bar?

I believed that the current update was near perfect, if not completely. There was no update in 2019 that I know of, and that was fine. Nothing was hurt. If it anything was hurt, I would be standing here last year. Maybe not, because I was too new to understand.

There were some things that may have needed an update, but now every wiki needs it even more. It will just get harder and harder for old editors, who have gotten used to the system, and new editors, who cannot make it where they need to go, and even if they do, they will struggle with the new editing system.

Some people like the new update. I do not dislike you if you like UCP. However, many people are sitting in their messed up wikis feeling regret that they ever wanted to migrate to UCP. Very few people like it in general.

What I request is that we have a choice whether or not to migrate to UCP. If you want to, then change it to UCP. If you don't, don't change it. FANDOM overall is hurt by this update, and even if some people like it, we are still migrating north instead of south.

Please rethink this update. Please read my complaints. Do not write it off as "hyperbole" (yes, I'm friends with Botuczy, and I don't like how you treated his complaints. He was a hero to complain so early). Do not say I'm wrong. I and my friends hate this update, and this update gives me concern for my own wiki.

Or I might just leave like thousands of other users have done or considered. Why be here when you can't use here?

Also, it's a little ironic this place is UCP-less.
