Perhaps in the immediate future it will, but part of having a "unified" platform is having a uniform look. I believe it was stated several times that there would be a new design system in Phase 2 that will be both for Fandom and Gamepedia, which would become the "uniform look" for both platforms. I don't think they'll make other skin changes before that.

Gamepedia allows admins to edit and interwiki map more or less however they want while Fandom requires admins to submit a request to staff which may or may not get approved. No word yet. I've been thinking about this a bit, and it's a difficult thing. I find it likely that staff will try to implement the same system as on Fandom, however, I'm not sure how it reconciles with custom Special:Interwiki entries some GP wikis have that point to non-wiki resources (with possibilities up to modules heavily dependent on the interwiki syntax to work), as well as the fact that some wikis use strongly different interwiki lists (I saw one wiki have a list that looked positively ancient).
