 * no chat, no badges, no blogs, NOTHING!!!
 * With the exception of the first one, improved new features have been announced. Badges (and gamification in general) can be great tools to focus users on a certain topic, but as an admin who'd love for people to focus on certain things, customizability was incredibly limited.


 * No classic editor, even the Visual editor is redone:
 * not really redone. They just use the one that is standard now rather than a very old model


 * I already said the "no wikitext on comments" thingie too many times, but WE CAN'T EVEN EDIT OR DELETE OUR OWN POSTS!!!
 * No argument here. Moderation tools need to improve.


 * No "i was born on" & "i live in " & "my occupation is" & "i am" on UCP wikias. I know the "bio" thingie but still, you can't just get rid of stuff without the community even reviewing the changes before they happen.
 * The masthead is a fairly recent addition, completely unrelated to wikis. Completely pointless to maintain a system that won't function on mobile.


 * So on pre-UCP wikias, there are these auto-generated "community" and "most popular pages" thingies on the navigation bar. Not even THOSE exist on UCP wikias! What is it, preferring the worst update ever over the community?
 * More features have been announced.


 * No JS. And a few months ago i tried CSS on a UCP wikia and it did not work. I AM THE FREAKING FOUNDER OF THAT WIKIA.
 * CSS should work now. Personal JS also works; sitewide JS isn't functional yet because js review hasn't been set up.


 * The UCP is overrated even though it rapidly exaggerates the "they changed it, now it sucks" trope. Basically everything about UCP is bad except for the mobile editor.
 * Opinions.

A lot of these aren't problems with UCP itself, but with the shoddy phase 1 version of it. This has been explained to you before. There is reason to complain. But all you do is, in fact, "they changed it now it sucks".
