The primary editing tools are now hidden in various menus that give no hint as to what's inside them. Why, exactly, should I have to click into My Tools just to get to the history? Oasis is clearly designed to enhance the social aspect of wikis, but that is not what wikis are for. Wikis are encyclopedias, and they gain their strength, popularity, and efficiency from being editable to anyone passing by. When you make it harder for editors to use and easier for socialites, you destroy the core function of the site. Nobody will want to socialise on a site that's full of outdated information because it's a pain in the butt to edit. If it doesn't serve another helpful purpose, then why not just use Facebook?

Wikia is about information. It attracted all its editors because it was useful, not because they could socialise. If you want to change what you are about, I won't stop you, but I also won't be using a site that isn't in the slightest bit helpful.
