Hi folks, Recently our wikis were upgraded to a new version of MediaWiki. With all the extensions and modifications that wikia has to the software, is really a headache to make an upgrade. There are lots of extensions to check or upgrade, new extensions to add, etc.
I don't know how much tests the techs have done before upgrading all the wikis, but from my point of view they haven't done enough tests, regarding <http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:1.10a_bugs> and <http://www.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:MediaWiki_1.12_upgrade>. Some of the bugs are difficult to notice because happens only in very uncommon circumstances, but others are easily noticeable. Examples are the duplicate edit toolbar and the floating footer. The upgrade has been done, but for the next upgrade I'd like to make a suggestion: Please, make the upgrade '''only to one wiki''' that is only for testing, like <http://communitytest.wikia.com/>, or a replication of other wiki, and invite all of us to test in it he new features of the upgrade and to give some feedback. A week later, if there's no major issues with the upgrade, then proceed with the upgrade to all wikis. Now we have some major issues with the upgrade. It's weekend and we're near of the Christmas holidays, so it seems like it won't be solved until next week... I know that we don't pay for this service but, please, take more seriously our communities. The money you are earning comes from our work, not from the ads - If there's no content, there's no visitors, and then no money. That's all, folks.
