The default skin for Wikia wikis | Till recently users who understood how to use preferences could choose which skin they used but even this choice will now stop. | ||
====Monarcho==== | |||
The default skin for Wikia wikis used to be called "Monaco", more colorful and customizable than the standard Monobook skin that Wikipedia uses. While individual users could view Wikia sites using the Monobook skin (by choosing it in their preferences), Wikia did not allow it to be chosen as a default skin for all wiki visitors, which was frustrating for some communities. Wikia says statistics show that Monaco encourages new users by making editing easier. | |||
====Oasis==== | |||
Wikia has introduced a new Oasis skin which is widely unpopular with users, see [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:MarioGalaxy2433g5/To_the_people_complaining_about_the_new_look To the people complaining about the new look]. Those who complain are insultingly called trolls though many are clearly unhappy over the skin and are not trolling. The new skin will soon become compulsory for all users. It leaves a wide gap on the computer screen of users with wide screens typical of laptops. Wikia’s unwillingness even to allow users to use alternative skins appears incomprehensible. Possibly Wikia hopes the gap will make advertisements stand out more and is catering to advertisers rather than users. | |||
