Hi everyone!

If you haven't noticed yet, the opt-in for FandomDesktop is now live, which means that you can manually opt-in and out of it to view it. Just check out "appearance" in preferences. Administrators can start fixing discrepancies between the two skins via a new Theme Designer. I've set a basic default theme, based on the old one, but remember that there are two versions: dark and light theme. Admins can prepare and change both versions right now and/or ask me for help with that.

If you notice anything is wrong, broken, doesn't look right, is unreadable in dark or light mode, etc, please report it here. I'll get back here on a regular basis to collect the information and fix it or forward to developers, if it's a bug that needs to be fixed by someone else.

You can send both design problems, for example a template is unreadable in dark mode, and bugs, for example I can't click on something that should be clickable, etc. Just any technical problems.

When you inform me about a problem:

- try to describe it, instead of just saying "something's wrong", even shortly - it helps me find it asap on long pages and I'll know if it's something I can't see but you see it, it happens on different browsers etc.

- say which browser you were using when you saw something

- if it's something that happened once and isn't visible anymore, you can still describe it, or provide screenshots and say when it happened - there were bugs in the past that didn't happen constantly, but occassionally

- if you have a screenshot, it's always welcome

We're launching a 2 week quality of life bug fixing project! We’re undertaking it as we work through a ton of great feedback we got about the new unified experience we unveiled at Community Connect last weekend.

This work will focus on UCP bugs, like features not quite working the way they’re intended or the way they used to on the legacy platform and other bugs that worsen the "quality of life" user experience at the wikis. You can read more about it in this blog.

Because of this, I want you to send me information about bugs you encounter at the wiki currently. It doesn't have to be anything big, these can also be smaller issues that you'd want me to report as important to you, because they affect your daily wiki experience. It can be anything you want fixed in this marathon of bug fixing.

You can report bugs in comments here or on my Message Wall, you can also directly message me via Discord, my username is Stygies VIII#0313.

Please send me:

• Especially annoying bugs that disturb your experience at wikis

• Bugs you've already reported, but were not fixed yet and I should push for them being higher priority, because they are annoying (see first point)

• Bugs you have not reported to me or Fandom support yet

If you send me a new bug, please try to include the following information:

• What exactly is broken and where? Screenshots and links are great.

• If you have steps to reproduce the bug, please include them. This way, Fandom engineers can reproduce the bug and examine it better.

• What browser are you using (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc)?

• Did you see it on mobile, desktop, or the Fandom App?

• When did it occur? Does it happen always, or at random?

• If it's about the editor, which one is it? VisualEditor? VisualEditor - source mode (also known as the 2017 editor)? Or the source editor (aka the 2010 editor) If you are unsure, you can check which editor you're using via your preferences.

Thank you!
