Wikia subsequently introduced a third new '{{tag|Oasis}}' skin, which became widely unpopular with registered [[user]]s.  [[WikiaSite:community:User blog:MarioGalaxy2433g5/To the people complaining about the new look|To the people complaining about the new look]] documented user disdain.  This new Oasis skin became compulsory for all users.  Because of this change, many Wikia users [[:Category:GoalAbandoned|have now left]], often [[:Category:Ex-Wikia|taking their wiki site]] and community members with them. Oasis would later become the only skin available to users of wikis on this platform. This caused heavy criticism, with some users criticising Fandom, then Wikia, for taking away their choices of skin. This skin would later be sunset and replaced with FandomDesktop.
