User blog:Knot126/UCP Migration Discussion

In March, FANDOM allowed creation of UCP wikis, which are completely rebased to a new version of MediaWiki, the software that runs the wikis, with re-built extensions, and they have been adding new features and fixes since launch. In May, they started to allow wikis to transition to the new platform. I'd like to know if there is interest in migrating a bit early as the UCP does contain many enhancements, but also lacks features. (I understand that I am oversimplifying here.) Please discuss in the comments. It should be noted that the Mods wiki runs on UCP, so you can switch to that wiki if you want to see what it's like.

 * Achievements - Likely not coming back
