User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-1280533-20141211234011

Thoughts:
 * The infoboxes are too low down; they should be in line with the top of the article, not dropped under a box.
 * If Recent Wiki Activity is going to screw up things like that, do away with it completely or put it at the bottom. It's the most useless thing in the right rail right now anyway.
 * Please don't remove the bottom toolbar.
 * The start of the content in general is too far down the page.
 * There is too much padding between lines, both in the content area and the category box.
 * In fact, there's too much vertical white-space in general.
 * Level 3 menus in the navigation look odd if they are shorter than the Level 2 entry you are hovering on (eg, on American Horror Story, look at Freak Show > Locations. The entire Locations menu is above the Locations entry on the Level 2 menu.) You say navigation will have the exact same content and theming you have today, but this is not possible if you are moving Level 2 from a horizontal design to a vertical design. If this change was implemented at Fable Wiki the theming we have would just not work.


 * I found this comment from Bert further down the page: we've heard repeatedly that the rail is [...] ignored, and it occurred to me that this is true, and that was the best thing about it. You know where it is, you know that it contains a load of junk, so you can blank it out. Now the junk is scattered everywhere around the page, detracting from the content, and therefore opposing the intention of removing it, which is apparently to bring your content front and center.
 * The text is too big. If you need bigger text, the browser has an option for that. It's not for the site designer to mess around with.


 * Wikia is supposed to be a collection of wikis. The further away from Monobook you go, the less like a wiki you become. Go back and look at Wikipedia again. That's what a wiki is supposed to look like - Vector may not be Monobook, but it still has the expected features.
