The time has come to go in the New (MediaWiki) Era
First let's put aside for a bit One Piece and let's talk about the wiki. I don't know how many of you are aware of this, but Wikia is updating the MediaWiki software, which is like the S.O. of the wiki, to version 1.19, you can check the current version here in the MediaWiki field. What does it mean? That our wiki software will be soon updated to the latest stable version, with many big or small improvements which can be unnoticed to some users or evident to others.

Bad news from Wikia
Guys, bad news are coming from Wikia, at least bad news for me. To summarize, I'll copy the whole blog here:
- 1 About Message Wall
- 2 Important things to know

- 4 What we’d like from you
- 5 Feedback
- 5.1 Poll
Message Wall will be similar to talk pages in a few key ways: there will still be a tab on your profile, each conversation will still have a subject header, and you’ll still be able to use full wiki text (photos, videos, links, tables, templates, etc.) in the content. In other ways, the feature is entirely different. Here’s the rundown:
It’s not a wiki page. You can add comments directly without going into the wiki editor, and you will see them immediately.
Newer conversations are at the top of the page; archiving is automatic. Wh…
