We’re still looking for help with claiming unlaunched UW Theme Classic sites! These sites must be launched in UW Theme Classic by March 31, 2026. After that point, they’ll need to be migrated to UW Theme 2.0 before they can launch to a production domain.
UW Theme Classic
Assistance requested: Confirming ownership of unlaunched sites
WiscWeb site owners will be required to transition their sites from UW Theme Classic to UW Theme 2.0 by December 2026. To help us in tracking progress in this effort, we are looking to understand if certain unlaunched WiscWeb project sites are still in use.

Important update for users of RSS feeds/PubMed
RSS feeds that use PubMed are broken due to issues in PubMed. For the time being, we recommend linking out directly to publications lists that use this tooling.
