User blog comment:GokūBlack10/New Wikia Skin:What we can expect? (Taken from the blog of Yyp on BW)/@comment-2089817-20101001040226/@comment-28861328-20101001041010

Due to how many articles most users make, that could take weeks (the approal/exporting) and that would mean having to move while the new look is in effect which could put a stall in our plans to move. I know there would be a lot of work to do if we did a dump and I'm not saying I like it, but when the change happens, we want the Shout Wiki ready to go, and if it has all of the content (that includes templates and a lot of other useful stuff) from here, then at least we have our stuff there when we get started and don't have to work around the new design, exportation, importation, and setting up the new Shout. Changes should come after the dump transferal. This allows for a fresh start without the weeks and weeks of approval and transfer.
