Since Imamadmad has indicated she will not be replying, I will do my best to answer your questions.

"Where did I speak down to people who have smaller resolutions?"

I don't really care how they look at lower resolutions running low dinosaur resolutions

"Where did I mention anything about users of low resolutions being a poor minority?"

I simply do not believe that the majority of people are running resolutions with a width <1000px. Shit, even my 3 year old tablet displayed all my content correctly.

"I just don't have a low resolution in terms of WIDTH being 1920x1080 (do you really think that's oversized?)"

The width of the resolution is not important, the width of the content is what is important, and you have said yourself that your table did not work at resolutions lower than that. Your screen is not oversized, your content was oversized. The purpose of this update is to prompt you to fix it.

"If my old 1280x720 tablet can display my tables and everything on the Kancolle wiki (which is now pretty broken) then it is completely broken because of the "update"."

What a 1280px width can display is irrelevant, as it is not the minimum supported width.

My laptop is 1280px, and I always ensure that the content I create/edit still works at 700px, so none of the content I have created/edited was broken by this update.

I have asked Desktop XL users to provide screenshots of "broken layouts" so I can test the same layouts at 1280px and 700px, but there have been 0 screenshots of broken layouts provided.

"Have a proper look around at the other comments and you'll see that the general concensus is that no one really likes this update"

The people complaining are not supposed to like it. The people complaining are the people this update is intended to prompt to change their formatting.

"All I really see is just a few people defending this update, I just simply don't take you seriously when there is literally hundreds of posts outweighing them."

I am not "defending" this update. I am explaining this update to hundreds of people who do not understand it.

The fact that there are perhaps "literally hundreds"(note: I still haven't counted) of posts complaining about this update only proves that it was indeed necessary.

I hope that one day Wikia Staff will fix the problem of comments reverting when editing them.
