I have no idea what you were thinking by adding this header!

It might look good on tablets and be okay on laptop, but it's horrible on modern desktop monitors!

Desktop monitors much more vertical then horizontal space. I already find chrome toolbar too big(despite being smaller and more space efficient). Most editors are using desktop and not tablet, so your basicaly saying you don't care about editors (I don't see myself ever using a tablet for editing).

Pros:

No need to scoll up anymore. But I don't care about that since I have a button called "Home" on my keyboard.

Global search: I probably will not use this feature. I see a point in it existing but it doesn't need to be showcased.

Cons:

It's HUGE! I want too look at the page content not the header! You could easily fit evething in there in a third of the space. It becomes even bigger if I zoom-in, so lets say I want too see an image in big, I won't be able too. I might not look at image often on wikis but I don't wan't to force my eyes.

It's rather ugly.... It doesn't match with the style of most wikis I visit. And since it's so big, it really stand out.

It scrolls downs!!! So basically you want us to look that ugly white chunk all the time and not at the content we want too see.

Your not allowing local admin to touch it!

Some local wikia editors spent a lot of time making their wiki look good, and setting them up so they look clean and space efficient. But now your shitting on them with this white bar that hides the original design, clash with the color scheme and steal the space from their content!

The content of the header apear to be aimed toward bringning attention toward wikia, but I'm not coming here for wikia. Wikia isn't a database, it's a cluster of database. I not going to give more attention to wikia then I was before. If I think wikia is doing a good job at hosting databases, I will participate more in wikia. Right now, your not doing a good job.

Enjoy your tablet users and your tablet editors!
