I do not think most Wikis need dark themes, just the official FANDOM Wikis which are incredibly bright, & perhaps the hubs such as Encyclopedia Gamia & Literature Wiki. The creation of a simple Gadget with a dark theme would be nice. That said, such things are very difficult to implement (either as an alternative ThemeDesigner or raw CSS) so I totally understand that never happening.

What I think about each product

 * Featured Videos: Conceptually I love it. I watched a couple & did not really care for them; one about a new topic to see pique my interest (it did not) & one about a book series I read, & I found the latter to be very redundant, going over very common & uninteresting things. That said, if they are popular & take ads away, I do not see them as a bother in the slightest, full support behind them.
 * New Headers: Loved it at first, I regarded it as a flat upgrade until CSS was restricted (JS I can understand). Each time I begin to appreciate the nice aesthetics, I have a bad taste in my mouth knowing that I can do nothing more with it except to add minuscule Era Icons.
 * Right Rail: I do not regard it as an upgrade or a downgrade. They look more elegant true, but when you have many modules the right rail looks like a cramped pile suspended in space; no clear division from where one ends & another begins. If FANDOM would finish the rest of the modules, which they promised months ago, I would be satisfied.
 * Fan Feed: My full thoughts are here, & generally speaking, I regard the new Fan Feed as making a bad situation worse. That said, I am still hopeful that FANDOM will do something about the points I addressed in that comment.

“Features that need modernization”
I have nothing to say about the rest.
 * ToC: I agree, but I see it as lowest priority.
 * Components: I thoroughly agree. The lack of consistency across the FANDOM-controlled portions of the site (some buttons the old Wiki-buttons, some the premium header buttons; round avatars in Discussions, square elsewhere; rail module inconsistency, et cetera) is rather annoying. I would prefer more standardization of those elements FANDOM insists they hold sole dominion over with the rest of the site, otherwise it just seems sloppy to expect Administrators to adapt the rest of their Wikis to FANDOM’s new styles.
