I want you to thoroughly explain the following things. And yes, please do so. I want a valid long answer please. Thank you.

The first is the terrible mobile skin. It is littered with photos garbage and trending articles. "Trending" is not the right word to use. My community is meant to be formal. The font is to messy anyways. The uncustomisable mobile skin is so informal and looks nothing like an essay - a teacher's and my worst nightmare. Wikipedia's mobile skin is much better and is more formal and resembles as essay - no wonder I like it better.

The second is the removal of the Monobook skin and the FANDOM advertisements. Monobook is not in violation of GDPR. Wikia has probably been looking for an excuse to get rid of Monobook for ages, and GDPR happened to come around just perfectly. You just want to display as much ads on each page and want everyone to be exposed to the Trending FANDOM articles and Fan Feed. Even if Monobook did violate GDPR, then the ads and FANDOM material is another reason to get rid of Monobook. Admit it! Not even the fact that over 80% of its area is not even useful?

I do not know how I can ever reason with someone who thinks this insanity is anywhere near acceptable. Yes, Live Chat is junk. No one uses that. When I have something to say, I go to the Talk page.

Yes, Trending Articles is junk. Major waste of horizontal space, which some content absolutely needs. I can not stress this enough: that column plus the margins take almost half of the screen's width. Besides, it is a distraction from what I want to read, the content of the page I am on.

Yes, Fan Feed is junk. Three screens worth of visually chaotic crap that I did not want to see in the first place! Again, why do you want me to move away from the information that I actually want? I went to that page because what I want is in that goddamn page, leave me alone! I cannot even find a "Powered by MediaWiki" badge/button but rather the "FANDOM" logo, "Start a Wiki", and links to the site that I do not want to endorse or visit at the bottom of the page!

Yes, Recent Activity is junk. It is only very mildly useful for administrators, and is completely pointless for the vast majority of readers. And again, not worth sacrificing the horizontal space.

The third factor is FANDOM staff - they keep bossing me in my wiki and keep messing up the MediaWiki pages - they only want me to use their scripts from Dev Wiki - I can make my own versions or use those on mediawiki.org, being original! I have read Wikia's terms of use at www.wikia.com/Terms_of_Use and no where does it say that we need to have FANDOM staff boss us around or I can not remove the "Staff" tag from your profiles.

The fourth factor is the lack of good features. You will not give me the abuse filter - if Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica have it - then also should my wiki! I am happy that Miraheze does provide an abuse filter. I hate the Infobox Builder because I keep encountering a bug through it. Fifth, I also hate not being able to edit most MediaWiki namespace pages as an administrator - it is not fair. I can do it on Miraheze, admins can do it on WP & ED, then why am I not allowed to do so on FANDOM? You staff do your best to not let me edit them - one of them (not you) declined my first request for you to edit them with templates. Come on, you can be better than that.

Because of these incidents, everythingyouneedtoknowaboutscience.wikia.com has been moved to thesciencearchives.miraheze.org. Thank you for your time. Joey P. (Talk) 03:59, July 11, 2018 (UTC)
