We are always looking at what is possible with changes to the system, and we don't ignore outright any possible options, no matter how exotic they are on the surface. Some of our systems do not use wikitext, and so that is not always a guaranteed fallback. The point of that conversation (which is totally out of context here), is that we are constantly looking for system improvements, and Call of Duty could benefit from new technologies that we produce. Those that have not adopted portable code will not have the ease of accessibility on every platform. Some communities simply have code that is not forward compatible, and Vanguard is responsible for reaching out to them when we know things are likely to break eventually. Some valid wikitext falls under that category.

There are, however, no plans to get rid of MediaWiki, and it's not something we are ultimately likely to do. The conversation is ­— as stated — theoretical and way out of context. Thanks for bringing it up, though. 😃
