while wikia isn't forcing me to change they are doing it in a very intrusive way that encourages use of css to hide any banners or notifications, some people have flat out blocked out the occasional small global pop up message. if you noticed in wiki activity, people already started using css to block the banner. all of this is directed towards power users, most of whom don't want to see any of that.

that percentage was from reading the discussion over at RSW, maybe its not 99% but its close to the majority of traffic. close to nobody plays runescape on mobile and thus the low level of mobile traffic. RSW has a very basic level "slider" but on articles have a lot more complex templates, not all of those can be updated to PI due to practical measures and the consistent changes being rolled out yearly generate the resistance. staff can claim the traffic data all they want but not provide the month/year and such is worthless data. in the past, staff tried that approach but it backfired cause local staff called them out on it.

Avin i have no idea if there is enough to justify creating such a complex navigation system. kung fu panda, avatar, ice age [not fully up yet] and lilo & stitch [working on it] all benefit despite setting it up is a pain. by spliting by film/shorts/tv series then to the relevant link, i can encourage visitors to stay longer. i got my own instructions to guide me so its not that big of a deal. all depends on if you are trying to attract more traffic. to me for the homepage, having all the feature films being displayed would attract my attention a lot more then a simple link to films/episodes since that's more of the main attraction and i would be more inclined to get to know the other characters. also you have 2 poll templates... either way, the design's up to your community and i'm not going to force you to change.
