Given that the Oasis layout is what most people encounter on coming to a Wikia wiki how many people who would have been on Wikia never actually signed on and discovered the WP-like skins were available?

Advantages of Monobook would include - it looking like the vast majority of wikis elsewhere in the Wikiverse (even if the actual underlying 'programming etc' differs between them). As a long-standing WP user there have been considerable parts of the Oasis 'activities' that are not intuitive.

Please add these comments here: Thread:1456488

However, I would say these arguments sound very similar to the arguments Windows users use when trying a different OS. There really isn't much objective usability evidence supporting the superiority of Vector over Oasis or vice versa.

As someone who primarily now uses FANDOM/Wikia wikis, I find Vector somewhat non-intuitive although I almost never use Wikipedia as a logged in user, so that may make a difference. I really like having Preview on the right side rather than having to always scroll to below the edit box to get to it in Wikipedia.
