A few more things I will be removing from the wiki when I get the chance.

Stop dumbing things down Wikia. Seriously, this is getting extremely frustrating. You are changing the core of MediaWiki to the point where it no long is MediaWiki. There is a reason why MediaWiki in its current state is successful.

You look at Facebook and how they are criticized for changing things simply for the sake of changing them. Look at YouTube. Look at the Google and Bing battle.

It's okay to fix some of the problems, but people who don't know who works on wikis are not a problem. They are certainly not the people who would be editing anyway. Also, the big Login at the top right should give them some indication of how it works.

Wikia, it is like you just got bored one day, threw this crap out at us, and then ignored all the criticism you have received so far. I definitely would take that as a sign as to the poor nature of your handling of all these arbitrary decisions.
