It is, and it's just the regular wiki with a different style. Calm down.

The MediaWiki software was getting too complicated and difficult to maintain, so we have reverted to using WikkiTikkiTavi.

Choco, sorry for the inconvenience. The plan is actually to skin 'Tavi so it looks the same as MediaWiki looked. Give us a week or two and the wiki should look as professional as it did before or hopefully even more so. At first I was wishing we didn't have to do this, but 'Tavi has actually come a long way since the last time we used it. I'm confident this is the best direction for our wiki to go in at the current time, and I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of other wikis switch in the near future, too.

Of course, a lot will have to change. It'll kinda look like a hybrid. The links and stuff will be pretty much like they are now.

Yeah, I haven't been around the forum for a while, but I've been back on the wiki for a month now. I thought I should pop over here and make sure everyone was staying calm with the switch back to 'Tavi.

Yeah, but I like the way it is now. I never really was comfortable with MediaWiki. It just had way too many features.

And btw, let me take this opportunity to say this switch has been mostly Dot com's doing. He deserves a huge thanks for his hard work preparing for this regrade. He's really done a fabulous job and I want to make sure he gets full credit.

Well, if it was, would he really admit it? Think.

Oh, I hadn't noticed. Today is April 1, isn't it? That's a funny coincidence, and I can see how this must look. If I had realized that I might've told Dot com to wait one more day. Again, sorry for all this inconvenience. I had really hoped this transition would go well, but I'm sure there will have to be adjustments.

And this is a wonderful memory.

Ah, so that makes the upside-down flipping, the Numagroundsing, the Neglected Mario Lettersing, the KoL-domaining of...wait, that's just me recollecting all the April Fool's Jokes I know so far.

I actually noticed this was an April Fool's Joke because of the Pom-Pom header. Nice going, though.

And for someone late to the party, so to speak, it's fun perusing the new/old wiki for the first time.

I could get used to this simpler format.

This reverting back to crapland, is this an April Fools joke? It has to be, it's terrible. I can't navigate the site at all, it's just... awful.

Come tomorrow morning this better be back to normal.

Yes, this has already been posted. I'd merge the threads except I'm more of a wiki admin.

You just have to get used to it. I've been using it for nearly a week, and I can manage just fine by now.

Yeah, Phlip managed to make a few visual upgrades in time for the switch,to make it a bit more user friendly for the coming weeks. I'm sure he appreciates your appreciating his work.
