Forums migration has nearly completed. The final non-staff wiki to migrate will be Tardis, which migrated incorrectly earlier and had to be rolled back. Community Central wikis will be moving to Discussions later this month.

Gamepedia migrations are going very well and should be complete except for a few one-offs next week.

LinkSuggest is still undergoing QA. The feature is not quite behaving as it should in some of our test cases.

The bug fix for editor preferences being mismatched between Legacy and UCP is currently undergoing QA.

And since when is "it was unpopular with the majority of users" something Fandom considers? :P

<p>I don't think this has been mentioned yet. If it has, please forgive me for the repeat info. It seems that the OnSiteNotifications feature displays only the 10 most recent notifications. If you have an unread notification that is not in this group of 10, then it becomes inaccessible despite the counter still counting it. </p>

<p>Scrolling the notifications down makes more to appear (up to a limit which may be 10 days ago or a number about 100), yet I have 3 "unreaded" notifs which I can't find. </p>

<p>Really? I am using MS Edge (Chromium) on Windows 10 and no matter how much I scroll the list, it contains just 10 and doesn't lead anymore. I tried here and on the test UCP wiki. </p>

<p>I'm currently on a phone and the touch-scrolling gives that. </p>

<p>Sounds like something that should be moved to a separate thread, unless FANDOM staff gives input soon. </p>

<p>Go ahead and <span class="plainlinks">contact Fandom Staff</span> for that one. </p>

<p>I went ahead and submitted a ticket. In response to HumansCanWinElves's comment, I tried on my phone and it behaved the same way. Although, now it loads 11 notifications instead of 10 (on both laptop and mobile). I tried with both Samsung Internet and Google Chrome. </p>
