The only way to overcome that is to learn to program and host one's own site where one can invent and make whatever tweaks that are needed based on  one's own skills. I think you're missing the point of what software should do. Over on RSWiki, we have a highly complex setup using DPL, Lua, Abusefilters and JavaScript to keep the wiki running smoothly. It's all hacked together with no real thought of maintainability because it works and there's next to no other alternative. There's features that would allow us to improve all of this so we never had to deal with it. But they're not available on Wikia because it's too difficult to upgrade and Wikia don't have the resources to spend on making something for us to use.
