User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-776174-20141212141554

You didn't actually remove it. You shortened it to include only Recent Wiki Activity and then shoved that into sacred article space and superseded the content. And with the typography change it is even larger.
 * Removing the right rail

These images flip between a screen shot of a page in File space (unaffected by the changes during testing) and a page in the Main space.

I like the new vertical approach but I don't care for the automated "More X" link, which looks particularly stupid in our custom "More" menu.
 * Local Navigation

I love these but worry about their customizability. My new Purge button was taken and my fellow admin assures me he can get it back but then he also said that the buttons weren't customizable. I've yet to get clarification on the contradiction.
 * Left-side Tools

All and all I'm mostly pleased. Far more than I was with Global Nav. Still it's merely cosmetics. I would really love to see Wikia doing more for the people who create and edit wikis than for those who merely view them.
