User blog comment:Xean/What Works for Your Wiki?/@comment-13301-20110526092330

At Wikia, we try to provide tips and tricks that will work for most wikis, but every wiki has unique wants and needs. The Wikia staff doesn't have a crystal ball; we don’t always know what information will help your wiki the most. That’s why want to hear from experts like you!

Oh, so you now agree that every wiki has unique wants and needs. And what do you do to accomplish that? Force a unique skin (oasis) to all wikis, so they look the same, as a plain facebook or social site. I've talked personally with Jimbo Wales about this, and he also agreed, but until today nothing has changed. Advertisers want all the wikis look the same and Wikia listen them, not us.

All our needs were already said countless times in other blog posts, and basically is the need for a skin focused on the content. And that is what works there: People knowing how to make tables, add templates, images and content without the need of a RTE. People that learn how to use WikiText and focus on the content of the wiki, instead of creating useless blog posts or adding random categories only to get badges.
