Okay, I'm gonna go down this thing. Please remember that this is only my opinions. So...yeah. Not exactly an awesome blog, but does get your head going and stuff. Thanks for trying to help Wikia's users.
 * 1) Well, sometimes it's better to just remove/add a feature, and usually unless it's really bad users will ignore it. For example, The Sims Wiki, which is relatively large just added a "clock" at the top of the page. There has actually been nothing said about this. Good or bad. So...yeah, major changes should come with a little warning.
 * 2) Well, I agree here, except for the last part. If they are new, they won't really care about Manaco; or ever hear about it. Highlighting that feature will make more users use it, and I've seen how different a Wiki can be with 2 skins. You're gonna have to work extra hard if you really encourage that. Also, how about improving the auto-welcome tool? Less work, easier and faster welcome.
 * 3) Nothing really bad here.
 * 4) No. A big Wiki has to have enough rules. Smaller ones too. Some of those rules are just minor to keep the Wiki in shape. I disagree here a lot.
 * 5) Do you really think that vandals think they are allowed to blank a page, replace things with swear words, etc? My idea is to block them for at least 3 days, maybe more depending on the punishment, then hope they A. Come back with a better knowledge of the rules, B. Don't come back if they were obviously going to continue vandalizing, or C. Vandalize again so that I can block them longer. My idea is to never have a "he spammed - 1 month" thing. That never works really.
 * 6) No. I disagree. Quite simply, it's the quality of the edits the user has made, not the quantity.
 * 7) No problem here; that is actually alright.
 * Yes, I agree. Also remember to link to most popular pages, etc.
 * 1) Agree.
