The Admin Dashboard has just gone live to all wikis today it seems. Just a few issues I've seen so far.

1) All Special Pages load up in the Dashboard. This needs to be changed. There is no reason to load up special pages in the Dashboard unless you click the link from within the Dashboard. This can easily be Ajax'd inside the Dashboard.

2) Have some option somewhere to either disable certain pages from this list or disable the Dashboard altogether. While it may be nice for new(er) users. Veteran users like myself just find it annoying and cumbersome.

3) Special:SpecialPages is the same page as Special:AdminDashboard?tab=advanced but both pages look quite different.

4) Not all pages look the same when loaded in the Dashboard. The default theme of it gives it a horrible white background which may work good on Community but looks horrible on other wikis. Some pages have s styled in a certain way, but others don't. The consistency needs to be addressed.

5) The  s used within the General tab use .WikiaArticle ul styling which appends a bullet. There needs to be a .controls class added to sets list-style to none to remove them on that page.

I am sure there will be more issues I find while being forced to use this new feature. I will try to list them here when I can.
