They're doing what we asked for. A few months before UCP (and long before too), people would complain about how out of date Fandom's MediaWiki was. This meant that we were missing out on features and also posed a security risk too. There was very little contestation over this, so that's why staff decided to carry out UCP.

Now all of a sudden, it's "the wrong move"? Mostly according to newer users, who joined around the time/after UCP was announced...

Chat was hardly used. Forums are outdated on most platforms - these changes need to happen for Fandom to progress. And even if it doesn't happen now, it's bound to happen in the future.
