If Monobook is to be offered as a site-wide default (a.k.a. Admin option) then that would make it a true alternative skin however, as Wikia staff have advertised it, the Monobook skin option is only available as a personal user preference and not as a so-called Admin option.

In other words it is no different than how Monobook is a personal option today.


 * As for Monaco : all I can say is that we have no assurance from Wikia that the Oasis skin will not be phased out in, say, 2 years time just as Monaco is being phased out within 2 years of it being mandated.
 * Fool me once - shame on you, Wikia!
 * Fool me twice - shame on me!
