"Actually that's exactly right. The communities are so large it's nearly impossible to get a consensus on anything to make a change. Because of that, they have made it very customizable, giving the users the option of using the options they want and turning off those they don't."

The customization on Wikipedia and others are the same as Wikia, only the difference is there are more tickboxes in Special:Preference on the Wikipedia and Wikia likes you to use your personal JavaScript page and so forth to make customisations for yourself (starting material is on the Dev wiki). It is otherwise literally impossible to actually customize the Wikipedia and co. further than what you can do on an individual Wiki site unless your proposal is so good, it makes the current Wikipedia's look and function obsolete and ultimately 10% worse. "What I suggested was they allow people to do customizable CSS or Java but require it be reviewed by staff before implementation. I think that's a reasonable compromise to ensure the integrity of the site."

So, what you actually suggested is remove more restrictions outlined in the customisation policy to the point it adjusts things listed on the customisation policy (which are there to ensure the site remains functional)?
