A few issues that have not been reasoned on this blog.

1. Fixed width: For the fourth time, the exact same reasons have been given for having fixed width, and this time there were no reasons given at all. Reduce the wasted space, a lot of editors would be happy if you reduced it by even 20%!

2.Navigation bar: Limiting the amount of links available on the navigation bar was a horrible move to make. Many Wikis about slower updating things have been able to squeeze everything into that small 4x7 space. However, some of the larger wikis, mainly gaming ones whose creators churn out new games rapidly, have not been able to reduce the amount of links without comprimising navigability. Adding a few extra links and a per user CUSTOMISED navigation bar would address many of these issues.

3.The sidebar: A lot of users have given you ideas on ways to improve the right sidebar or rail as some call it. A great idea was to make it collapsible, that way editors and viewers alike can view new content while still being able to read what they wanted to see at the time.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you actually give some in-depth thought to these issues. I won't be happy if I get the same sterile answer this time.
