I think this is a culmination of things that need to be done.

First off, there is the need to control advertisements within customized wikia's.

Secondly, there is a need to control mobile viewing within customized wikia's.

Third, combining the two and controlling advertisements for mobile viewing within customized wikia's is a big problem.

That means that controlling the headers is necessary. It allows for global control of mobile advertisements.

The more customization to headers is going to mean that advertisements will not work as intended on all wikia's.

This also means that the statement "Finally, it is an example of the staff needlessly controlling and branding wikis in places where admin decisions have sufficed" is not entirely true.

If an admins decision (of customization) interferes with mobile advertisements, they have not entirely "sufficed" since advertisements can break the mobile experience and receive many bugs.

We are NOT going to get away from mobile considerations.

I do support the fact that fandom staff will (likely) introduce a bit more customization down the road once everything is worked out.

I do not support scrapping the entire thing.
