Board Thread:New Features/@comment-180.190.90.253-20200925122221

Missing features
Some features that exist on non-UCP wikis are not currently available on the new platform, and are listed below.
 * Ace Editor
 * CodeEditor is dependent on the 2010 WikiEditor, which we are currently exploring to see if we can refactor into the 2017 Editor
 * Achievements
 * Coming soon, according to MisterWoodhouse.
 * Currently are available.
 * Creating new achievement tracks is not implemented.
 * Arrays
 * Article comments
 * Article Comments are not yet enabled.
 * Per previous blog posts, Article Comments are being rebuilt to not rely on retired code. They are not currently on new UCP wikis, as they were not deemed critical for this stage of Phase 1.
 * As of the June 12th update comments are available again and can be toggled on/off (default on) via the Admin Dashboard.
 * No UI or page for tracking adding new-style comment contributions. (w:Thread:1890754)
 * Category Exhibition
 * Custom CSS
 * Global (from CC) and personal scripts and CSS are not imported.
 * Personal global CSS on the UCP is now available by editing a personal CSS page on ucp.fandom.com which is serving as a temporary Community Central style wiki for the UCP until CC can be transitioned at the end of Phase 1.
 * FlaggedRevs
 * No status.
 * Message Wall Greeting
 * MultipleUpload
 * MultipleUpload has been added in the form of Fandom's custom in-editor UploadNewImages extension, but it doesn't support file renaming or setting file descriptions/upload summaries.
 * New Image Galleries
 * Semantic MediaWiki
 * In final acceptance testing.
 * Special:Community
 * This extension isn't available on the UCP yet, but will be added soon.&#91;citation needed&#93;
 * Special:Templates
 * TabView
 * Welcome messages
 * Wiki Activity
 * No plans to re-implement in UCP. May try to change RecentChanges to meet similar needs.
 * Wiki Polls
 * Wiki Polls

Known changes
Some changes are not bugs but intentional changes, and are listed below.


 * Dev Wiki additions -- due to changes in class names and other functionality, some Dev Wiki modifications need to be updated to work with UCP while others may be obsolete. See DEV:UCP.
 * Localization strings have changed from custom Fandom translations built up over years on the forked 1.19 platform to the standard MediaWiki translations on 1.33, so some of the terms which non-EN users see will have changed.
 * The masthead doesn't include other details like location, birthday, occupation and gender. That's by design. We switched to a freeform bio with the Profile changes.
 * Special:WhatLinksHere does not work on Message Walls
 * Per our discussion earlier this week, that is not a bug. It is due to the new Message Wall design no longer being MediaWiki custom code.
 * Wikis are now based on a different 'Starter' wiki
 * The old starter wiki is NOT the source of new wiki spinup.
 * The starter for the new UCP communities is in a private database. It's not accessible by outside users. Shortly before feature releases for UCP, I will add any relevant additions that capitalize on newly available tools.
 * New Tags appear in Special:Contributions and Special:RecentChanges.
 * User tag text on user profiles is now in MediaWiki:user-activity-group-* and not whitelisted. Also, the User tag for "Blocked" is missing.

Removed features

 * Chat
 * Chat will not be ported to the Unified Community Platform.
 * Special:Insights
 * This maintenance tool that highlights unclassified templates, non-portable infoboxes and other maintenance issues on a wiki won't be available on the UCP, since it saw only little usage by communities on the Fandom legacy platform. These maintenance tasks can still be accessed through MediaWiki's special pages.
 * Shared Help
 * We're replacing those transcluded local Help pages with redirects to their Community Central sources.
 * Special:FilePath
 * Replaced by Special:Redirect/file
