Updating the software which runs the wiki platform is a very necessary project that is long overdue. We're setting up the wikis to have a brighter future with access to more Extensions, more new features, and better support. The changes that come with upgrading to a 7 year newer version will take some getting used to, but it will make the platform faster, more stable, more compatible with third-party tools, and easier to upgrade going forward.
