The transparency is a clever idea, definitely an improvement. This should be the modus operandi Wikia has for large sitewide changes like this - listen to [properly articulated, constructive] feedback and make changes that strike a well thought out compromise. That's obviously easier for something like this than something more complex like article comments, but it's still a good idea to at least endeavor to do this publicly and openly with the community.
