Apologies for not paying much attention to the most recent replies, I just want to answer the main topic in a personal way.

When I first started using wikia (of course without much knowledge of mediawiki, etc.), I had a hard time understanding how to navigate to pages that I want to get to. I discovered the search bar, and category pages later, and have used those two features very often. As an admin, I'd hate to lose all the stuff from the top bar, which would be a big blow to accessibility for editors, especially new ones, so that they can find pages that help them understand what needs work, etc. However, by what it looks like, that functionality is alright, and is getting a UI revitalization, which is just fine by me.

I'd say the feature I used most in this part of the page is the wordmark, which is my main link to get back to a neutral wiki page from which to move out into the thick of pages and content. However, a wiki specific search bar that works a little better than the global search would be hugely appreciated. Thanks for reading.
