ALL POSTSRelease Highlights - August 13, 2020: The One With Achievements
<p>Happy Thursday, gang, and welcome to the first Release Highlights post of the Stanley Cup Playoffs!
</p><p>Let's dump the puck into the zone and chase it with some highlights...
</p><p>Achievements
</p><p>Achievements has been deployed to the UCP. It is the same experience you know from the legacy platform, but now running on the backend tech used by Gamepedia's own Achievement system. This unblocks migration for many wikis on the legacy platform.
</p><p>In Phase 2, we'll be giving this feature another design pass to make it more engaging.
</p><p>JS Review
</p><p>JavaScript review issues have been resolved and you can have wiki-specific custom JS now. Be sure to <span class="plainlinks">contact Fandom Staff</span> to request the site JS flag on your wiki if you don't have it set yet.
</p><p>Special:Contributions
</p><p>There was an issue with styling not showing correctly on this page and that has been fixed.
</p><p>H2 underlines
</p><p>The underline from H2 formatting no longer collides with infoboxes.
</p><p>Page vs wiki CSS classes
</p><p>Targeting page-specific CSS has been fixed.
</p>
<hr><p>Upcoming
</p><p>Semantic MediaWiki is undergoing final acceptance testing, which will unblock migrations for wikis making use of it on the legacy platform. Please note that our policy on the application of this extension has not changed and it will not be enabled on further wikis.
</p><p>Additional Note
</p><p>Starting with the following batch of wikis, banner notices for upcoming migrations to the UCP will be enabled at least 2 weeks ahead of time (absent special circumstances). This follows feedback from admins about needing a little more notice to prepare.

<p>Oof. This is hard to take. On the UCP, I can't access too much. Can't even access Message Walls, a big part of what I usually do. I am waiting for a responce from a Surviv.io Wiki B-Crat (TheSURVIVR) to reply to my message on his wall on my wiki. Lucky for me so far, Surviv.io Idea Wiki hasn't been chosen. I wish to ask, can Surviv.io Idea Wiki been the last, or atleast one of the last to be updated?

<p>Yeah, Staff have already explained that no communities can stay on the old platform. Otherwise there would be too many communities wanting to remain on the old platform, and then problems would arise because they'd be stuck on a severely outdated platform forever.

<p>At any rate, I've heard this wiki needs to be <i>the</i> last so even if you could dictate your place in line fine-grained like that, you definitely couldn't say "make me the last".
</p><p>Other side note, Message Walls working like Discussions is making me think of switching them off--will probably play around with them briefly after the migration on the wiki I run, but if they don't meet needed use cases I'm not sure I can even put it up to community approval like I would typically want to with that kind of change.

<p>OK, so the source editor in like https://survivio.fandom.com/wiki/Eye_Bunker is busted for me, with (in my typical 80% browser zoom and even if I change it to the default 100%), with the lines of text not even matching the display of where they are, and some useless boxes displaying around lines of text. (not to mention the fact that I hate how long it takes to load the now not just a raw-text editor (it was one of the best raw-text editors I knew of before UCP), and when I refresh the page it has to load the page first again and then the editor, rather than just loading the editor and just the editor)
</p><p>Any idea how to fix this?
</p>
<hr><p>EDIT 45m Later: when I send a new message on my wall, they work normally, then I refresh the page (and even clear cache) and they're gone. Just gone. I can send messages to other people's walls, but not to my own, which is where I'd put some announcements about me (e.g. "I'm going on vacation" wouldn't go on every staff member/wiki user's wall, but on my own wall as that way if people come to ask where I am, they see it, and then other staff members are also following my wall so they'd get the notif anyways... or at least that's how I did it in the old platform). Is this a bug or a "we won't let people talk to themselves because they don't need to" type of thing?

What wiki do the messages on message walls disappear? Is it Survivio?
(Edited by Fandyllic)
yeah
(Edited by ThePokegeek5000)
Update: works just fine for other users but not for me.
(Edited by ThePokegeek5000)
<p>Since FANDOM doesn't support MP4s, I uploaded a video to google drive on it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1spw2skQn1zR-ThUSqZ6dxEzIbOXiankU/view?usp=sharing
</p><p>I used the Ctrl+R hotkey to reload the page, and at the time of sending this message, opening it results in a "We're processing this video. Check back later or download the video now." message, might go away eventually.

The limited ability of customization of new Message Walls and Discussions is one of problems.

I have no clue how they will migrate the Greetings on Message Walls. They are highly customized.
