Can you provide status on the following? I know it's been pretty busy but I'm having trouble finding any acknowledgements of these issues and they're still affecting my wiki


 * source editor window still takes a few seconds more than non-UCP source editor to load
 * toolbox bar is collapsed by default, hard to find for people who don't know it's still there
 * Help:Unified Community Platform page does not list any missing features or workarounds that I can see, despite being claimed as an alternative to User:Noreplyz/UCP. As such, it reads less as a help page and more as a press release. Please revise or create new blog to include cataloging of non-bug user feature reports and what the FANDOM direction or workaround on them will be
 * New wiki layout is no longer compatible with PseudoMonobook, as employing it removes the "edit" bar. Can you please clarify what could have changed in how the edit bar is named or defined from the previous format that would cause it to be caught by the PseudoMonobook filter?
 * "Save changes" button cannot be reached without scrolling back to top of edit window
 * unable to leave messages for anonymous editors like on wikipedia or wikimedia
 * "edit" and "edit source" both displayed at each editable header -- can we change something in preferences to show only one?
 * no mail icon to notify of message wall changes across FANDOM (this one was acknowledged, is there any sort of ETA on it?)
 * "e" and "d" no longer work as hotkeys for edit and delete
 * "ctrl+f" while in new source editor pop up a wikia-specific window instead of letting me use the browser search function. We need a way to disable this in preferences.
 * only possible to use the old source editor (with the working Ctrl+F) when undoing an edit. Please make it available in preferences for any editing.
 * "show changes" now requires going to "preview" and then "review your changes" from the edit window, instead of being one button. This is especially awful when the page being edited is long with many pictures or templates, which can cause exorbitant lag on slower connections; "Show changes" used to be the solution to that problem!
 * similarly, "templates used" is now part of a dropdown and popup instead of just being an everpresent button on the edit window
 * edit window sometimes has a mandatory "describe what you changed" popup
 * categories only appear at top of page, and only show the first three categories. This makes it more annoying on browser, and a too-annoying-to-deal-with hassle on mobile. An especially bad problem on gamecruft wikis that use categories extensively to allow navigation of various items, cards, etc.
 * this is not new to UCP I think, but many non-thumb images go straight to the file instead of the file page when clicked. I can't find a consistent pattern, though.
 * Special:NewFiles and categories no longer show the name of the file under the image
