I'm not much into computer science, though many people pointed it out to me in the past that such extensions as Message Walls and Special:Forum were the main reason why Fandom firmly stuck to the outdated MediaWiki version, an update of which many desired.

People are going to complain, as they always do in face of any sign of modernization (that almost always involves some changes), but I don't really think that wikitext is a necessary thing when it comes to informing someone on something, especially since it's going to be supplanted by a new text editor, so the lack of it should not pose a problem.

To be honest, I was sure users talks were going to be retired one day or another. Although I wouldn't mind it, I admire you for taking it into account how certain wikis find it (for example Wookieepedia).

Well, I'll definitely miss the appearance of newcomer users' profiles, especially the orange fish ;)

It it works like that of Miraheze (which seems to be a level above Fandom's current MW version), I'm over the moon!

In conclusion, the announced change looks at least amazing. Also, nice of you to keep us in the loop. Keep proceeding!
