User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-9605025-20150118030616

I was told about this by an anonymous Wikia user. I am most active on the Transformers Legends wiki (the game is officially licensed to Mobage; the wiki is fan based) where most current users contribute only to chat/forums/comments. Only a few of us remain committed to keeping the wiki content up-to-date. At the moment, I am the only one that maintains the MediaWiki code. Both the founder and most of the admins no longer visit the site. I have been told that articles can be previewed in the new format using "?useskin=venus". I have done so and the new format is not compatible with our current templates. I understand that there might be a need to update but I would imagine that most sites already up would have similar compatibility issues. As it currently is, I am not a fan of the new layout. Then again, I am also not a fan of the new top bar. I am also not a fan of what appears to be recent changes that place ads in the middle of articles when viewed by anonymous users.
