I have templates which worked well in both Monobook and Monaco that now take up a considerable portion of the page width. Because many of my wiki's pages involve detailed information, photos, and lists, one conversion I made was to collapsible tables to "shorten" the pages. They collapse properly in both Monobook and Monaco, but do nothing but make long pages longer in the new skin, as they no longer collapse.

After having worked with both of these, I do appreciate Monaco's having more "built-in" features as opposed to Monobook, but there is nothing I've seen in the new skin that is a "plus" to my wiki. While I would rather have the convenience of those Monaco features, can say I would prefer downgrading to Monobook if Monaco is absolutely not an option; there's no real navigation in Monobook and what's provided with the new skin isn't great for my wiki, but at least I can get my tables to collapse, have more page width, and can go back to putting links on the Main Page.

This is already enough of a problem to me that I may consider hosting the wiki privately.
