User blog comment:Susanolivia/Fixed Width, Sidebar, and the Removal of Monaco/@comment-1154266-20101011194338

I wonder when people are going to realise that Monobook will still be available for everyone and is so much easier to use than Oasis. Yes, it isn't Monaco and some people would prefer that Monaco is kept and Monobook isn't, even though Wikia have said that they pretty much do nothing with Monobook now (they just keep it around because long-time editors use it) so it wouldn't make much difference in terms of running costs.

I should note that, on my home wiki Wookieepedia, Monobook is the dominant skin among most active editors. Compare these (admittedly hours-old) categories: Monaco/Oasis/Monobook.

It really isn't the end of the world, if it's the fact that you will HAVE to use Oasis that is bothering you, then don't worry, you've always got Monobook.
