Nothing would have changed with a SiteWide message about this, since people wouldn't realize how bad it was done until it would go live. Instead, it should have going live to a few wikis or a test wikis where users could see it safely.

One thing I can't understand is why staff is over-using the word consistent when changes made by Wikia on the MediaWiki engine is making every page inconsistent between different users or wikis. Having a different color scheme for a page depending on the user rights is a complete inconsistency for me. The same with the edit buttons that appear at a random places depending on the namespaces and even with different default actions.

Maybe Wikia is living a consistent inconsistency?
