A kick in the teeth, as they say :(

The content isn't tied to Monobook. Bar some cosmetic changes to outdated code and design, it reads the same.

No it isn't the same at all. Maybe this applies to more visual, video based Wikis. If you look at the Malazan Wiki homepage (whilst you still can), which is mostly text based, in MonoBook - no ads, great sidebar with useful links, none of that stuff at the top - basically, a really clean lay-out. I do use both lay-outs as we are always trying to make sure that any changes look ok in default and mobile views but they look nowhere near as good and aren't as easy to use as the MonoBook lay-out. I can only assume that you do not use it yourself otherwise you would know the difference.
