It's been a slow-rolling disaster on the Apple Wiki and veteran users lost interest after struggling with the new editor. The new UI is "pretty", but a horrible performance hog compared to the older MediaWiki software -- I wonder how this is working for Fandom on the backend as I experience more server crashes and fetch errors in UCP than classic. It took a while before new users filled in, but they're mostly Visual Editor rookies making a mess of things. From a strategic standpoint, I think it would have been better for the Gamepedia sites to be migrated to the MediaWiki software that Fandom had previously been using -- think about it... why is Wikipedia itself sticking with an older version of MediaWiki software?
