It's better if we have an option to stick to Oasis. 🔲🔳Rectangl’r0️⃣4️⃣ (talk?) 13:27, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Oasis and HydraDark both look better in every way, I'm willing to bet 95% of communities prefer those in comparison to this new garbage. ansljeremy (talk) 15:14, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Can we at least have Oasis as an option to go back to?
I personally don't like the new theme and having the old one stay would prevent me from having to relearn the entire website.


 * Oasis is being retired, as is Hydra. --MisterWoodhouse (talk) 13:30, 9 July 2021 (UTC)


 * So there can't be an option to go back to an oasis?


 * Correct. The current option to go back to Oasis is a temporary one during rollout. Oasis and Hydra will be retired after full rollout. --MisterWoodhouse (talk) 14:55, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

WHY DO WE NEED THIS?
Why?

Please make this a 2022 april fools joke.

FandomDesktop is just... an eyesore
Sorry, but FandomDesktop looks absolutely off-putting, and it's just awful to look at on different Wikias/Fandoms. If this ends up being a mandatory replacement and disallowing me to use the Oasis layout, then its become clear that the people at Fandom have blatantly ignored us over the things none of us wanted. Ever since the removal of the MonoBook layout, the Fandom has gotten more and more disconnected to the community in forcing us to use layouts that are too confusing and unappealing to look at, and FandomDesktop isn't an exception either. They're deliberately ruining their own reputation by ten-fold. JonTheVGNerd (talk) 19:51, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The monobook layout was bland. Furthermore, people were heard regarding this new thing. It might not be perfect but it is just as good as Oasis, in my opinion. 01:59, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

GODDARNIT FANDOM
i hate the new design.
 * A+ feedback. 01:59, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Can someone tell the moderators to delay this forever? It's just garbage and no one would want this. Mornelouwdaddy (talk) 04:42, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Rather than calling it a garbage, I think it is better to point out and explain the things you believe they should improve or change regarding the new design. That way, they might listen to your advice.

--14:56, 11 July 2021 (UTC) Literally everything in desktop is garbage... It's better if they can actually read the feedback from users. Mornelouwdaddy (talk) 15:03, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, if you want an assurance that your feedback are heard by them, you can file a ticket on Zendesk. There, you will have a Fandom staff responding to your suggestion directly. It will take times, but they will respond as long as you be specific and informative about your complain and not writing anything that are against the rules. You can also ask them on Fandom Discord. There are many Fandom staff there and they might answer your suggestion as long as you follow the rules and write the complain on the correct channel.

Message from TheMaster84
FandomDesktop is garbage. 0/10 wouldn't recommend you to make something that hideous like this ever again. TheMaster84 (talk) 07:17, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Fuck Desktop

This sucks.
This sucks, I hate it. Dasu! (talk) 00:33, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ranting about the change won't bring back Oasis. They have decided that they would change the layout to FandomDesktop. Now, we all know that FandomDesktop still have a lot of issues. I think being more specific by telling them about the bugs you encounter, what you dislike about FandomDesktop, and helpful features that were available in the old layout but disappear in the new one will be much more helpful for them to improve FandomDesktop than a mere rant sentence. Maybe, just maybe, they would listen to your critics if you wrote it that way.

Most of us hate this new design update, so why are you forcing it on us? —This unsigned comment is by Canttouchthis5555 (wall • contribs) 22:23, July 10, 2021 (UTC). Please sign your comments by adding " ~ " in source editor.
 * Good point. No one even asked for the update and the admins just went 'lets remake the entire website'. Mornelouwdaddy (talk) 15:08, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * This new skin was part of the UCX rollout, which came from Fandom and Gamepedia merging. It's been discussed for... a long time now. The fact that people don't tend to pay attention to the news on Community Central is nobody's fault but theirs for not paying attention. I understand it's frustrating, but no matter what you do or how much you complain, Oasis IS going away. So you might as well direct that energy into making your communities look good in Fandomdesktop. 15:22, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Did anyone even ask for you to write that long paragraphs? Anyways, like JonTheVGNerd said, Fandom is ruining their reputation by tenfold. What are those reasons you may ask? FandomDesktop. Mornelouwdaddy (talk) 15:39, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No I was just giving you an honest reply to your issue, nobody asked me to. Also... with whom is Fandom ruining their reputation? Because, the bigger wikis that actually get most of the viewers have been adjusting just fine. 16:47, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

crammed screen space
absolutely gotta love how the entire page is squished into a much smaller space in the middle so they can shove ads in your face on the left and right. if this is gonna be the new default theme, sure, go ahead. but why remove the other themes? Oreli (talk) 21:18, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Criticisms
The design looks all wrong. It doesn't have all the navigation feature, there's no tab to tell us if the recent changes list or social activity still exist. And the main bar looks so ridiculously sideways-backwards. What if we lose our watch lists too? --1RichardHunt 18:59, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
