...Can I give Fandyllic's message more than one kudos? XP

But I do still stand by my own mention about my disability still not playing nice with it, because that is based on its current architecture and I don't need to hang around in the skin for 20 minutes straight to be sure.

I do want to add that while I have a sentimental attachment to Monobook in specific (it was my first skin, over on Wikipedia), my anger is largely at losing usability I find in that skin that I (personally, this won't be everyone's story) hit barriers to in Oasis and that there's only four days' notice for it. I would be just as angry if we were losing something like Vector... even though I really don't like Vector. Citrusellaeditswikis, I'm genuinely sorry to hear about this issue with user experience on our site. If you're comfortable sharing, we'd certainly like to understand about what disabilities you are facing and discuss what we can do to help mitigate them, if you reach out to us so we can protect your privacy. We do try to make our site as accessible to people as possible, as evidenced by our work a few months ago to improve the user experience for those with colorblindness. Unfortunately, without getting feedback from individuals with accessibility needs, we have a hard time understanding what additional measures we can take.

It's just a bit too busy and has a lot of stuff organized/laid out in ways I need to spend far too much time trying to follow (i.e. inside dropdowns (like, such that I have trouble finding the option I need even though I know which dropdown it's in and have gone into that dropdown three times already), etc.) in order to get anything done. I hadn't "officially" gone through an avenue like that both because I really am pretty open about how my disability affects things like this (even if I'm private about other things related to my disability :P) and also because (other than the fact that before now, Monobook worked out for me) I really didn't think you guys could make changes to the skin that would work for that kind of thing without... basically redesigning the whole skin. *shrug* (I can't even think of personal CSS changes I could try to make past that thing someone did upthread. Which I'm still having trouble getting to work, hmm. May need to ask someone about that past what I've already asked, too. 0_o)

I'll think about going through the contact page, though. I feel like that was suggested to me once upon a time, but it either didn't result in changes or it was suggested to me but I forgot to actually do it. XP
