[[ComplaintWiki]] has been set up expressly to look at problems that Wikia users have. Users are advised to look at that Wiki for a more detailed review. | |||
===Uncyclopedia=== | |||
Now (since late October ’08) there are problems at [[Uncyclopedia]] to the author’s knowledge. Uncyclopedia is sensitive about a change in its URL.

Wikia has a controversial Monarco skin which displays advertisements effectively. Wikia claims Monarco encourages new users by making editing easier. Logged in users don't have to see the advertisements unless they choose to. For example, users may choose to see advertisements on Wikia in order to see how a page looks to other users. When logged in users work unpaid to impove wikis letting them avoid advertisements is very reasonable. Monarco skin has a prominent advetisement at the top right hand side of most pages. Unsually this is acceptable. When there is also a picture on the top right hand side of a page the layout for users who see the advertisement can be poor especially on small pages. Logged in users may not realize this when they add pictures. Has Wikia considered moving advertisments to the left of a page? Can MediaWiki software detect a picture and move advertisements away from pictures? Wikia please note this. | Wikia has a controversial Monarco skin which displays advertisements effectively.
