Fandyllic, reliable do what?

SkyGuy, I have been wondering this myself. Fandom has made it clear that all wikis will be converted eventually. However, the order in which they are migrating things have confused me. One would think it work make more sense to migrate the small "simple" wikis first so that there are fewer bugs when the larger wikis are migrated. However, Fandom seems to be migrating larger wikis without having migrated all of the smaller ones yet.

It is the same thing with the independent migration from Forum to Discussions. My wiki with tens of thousands of Forum posts got migrated to Discussions and afterwards I found smaller wikis with (I am estimating) only a few hundred Forum posts that had yet to be migrated. What is the logic in that? Not to mention that another large wiki also had their Forum threads migrated and discovered that the migration script has a bug the replaces emojis and other complex characters with question marks (see here). Despite that, Fandom still thinks they are going to be done migrating Forums to Discussions by the end of this month; as in no Forums anywhere.

Sorry for that last paragraph. It ended up more of a rant than I intended. It is true that some wikis aren't getting migrated because Fandom intends to close them anyways. However, if you are actively working on your wiki, I assume you don't need to worry about that. While Fandom may be planning for Forum for be gone by the end of this month, I think it will take a bit longer for them to migrate all wikis to UCP. Although, their initial goal was the end of the year. So, yeah.
