Hey all! I am super glad that I get to reach out for this and ask for your input! Some of you may have already read the blog announcement on Community Central about this, but for those who haven't: Fandom announced that it would focus the upcoming 2 weeks on an all-hands quality of life project -- read "a two-week bug squashing effort"!

So my question to you all is: are there perhaps any bugs that have been annoying you since whenever UCP came along? This project is the perfect opportunity for you to get the word out about those things! Just drop your report in the comments here, leave me a message, or even reach out to me via Discord if you're more comfortable doing that, and I'll do my best to get your voice heard. These don't have to be the big "it's breaking the site" kind of bugs. Just any inconvenience you've encountered ever since UCP rolled out can be reported. This project will run for 2 weeks, so the faster I know about your issue, the more chance we have to get it fixed.

When you report something, please send me everything you can about the bug(s), like:

  • what browser are you using (Chrome, Firefox, etc)
  • What editor? 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.
  • Did it happen on mobile or desktop?
  • And most importantly: please include detailed steps to reproduce the bug (even if you think it's glaringly obvious). Providing me with links, screenshots, videos, etc is super useful!

Our best shot to get anything fixed is to be able to clearly explain to an engineer what the problem is, when we encounter it, and how it affects our workflow. So any relevant information you can provide will help them help you!

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
