The FandomDesktop opt-in is now LIVE!
Hey gang!

I am pleased to announce that FandomDesktop is now LIVE for opt-in exploration! During this time, logged-in users will be able to switch from Oasis or Hydra to FandomDesktop as their wiki experience through an opt-in toggle, found in an on-site banner and in user preferences. They will also be able to switch back to their respective legacy experiences from their user preferences.

The purpose of this period is to let editors and admins get used to the new design and, especially, for admins to prepare their communities for full migration, which will come early this summer.

Not everything is fully deployed, like the Light and Dark Theme switcher button, as mentioned in the Theme Designer blog, but there will be frequent releases of updates over the next few weeks.

If you encounter an issue, please be sure to report it. You have a number of options to do so:


 * If your wiki has a Wiki Representative assigned, be sure to raise issues with them.
 * Our help desk team is ready to receive any bug reports you may have.
 * Our official Discord server has a dedicated UCX channel for discussing the new experience with other editors, admins, Wiki Reps, and Staff.

As you explore the new experience, be sure to go through your normal workflows and make sure things are working as intended. We have had a crew of experienced editors and staff testing it internally, but you know your specific workflows better than we do, so your input is critical!

Admins, you should definitely check out the new Theme Designer and the FandomDesktop preparation guide for advanced customization. When you feel that your wiki is ready for the new experience, there’s a button in your Admin Dashboard to let us know. This may impact the order in which your wiki moves to FandomDesktop as a default experience for all editors, admins, and readers, but we make no guarantee of earlier placement in rollout waves. Note: This will not be available on historically Gamepedia wikis immediately on release, but will follow within days.

As always, we’re happy to take your questions, but the UCX channel on Discord is the best place to discuss the opt-in release with your fellow editors, admins, and Fandom representatives.
