Anything that relieves the eye strain that the klieg light you turned the search bar into is a blessing. However, I am concerned that the "us" vs. "them" that is being created with the proposal that we can only customize our personal CSS/JS -- but a Founder or Admin/Bureaucrat cannot do it for their entire wiki -- is unfair to those editors who are not geeky wikians that get a thrill out of tweaking their wikis for the ultimate experience. The occasional, sporadic editor is going to be left out in the cold and forced to deal with visual nuisance, or give up entirely on the wiki experience. And what about plain ol' visitors? Deal with it or leave?

I wish staff would focus less on change for the sake of change, and more on fixing long-term problems that keep being put on the backburner. For example: what difference does it make if, when a search is conducted, the search for the subject must be typed precisely with the upper and lower cases of its page name? Why can't a search for "template xyz" (all lower case with no punctuation) provide a result for "Template:Xyz"? How about the so-called Wikia "Help" pages that haven't been updated? (I know, I know. Updating Help" pages is an editing issue, not a technical issue. But who put them together in the first place and why were they left to moulder?) It's as if Wikia Staff is always being easily distracted by the shiny new toy.
