User blog comment:Sannse/Your First Look at the New Wikia/@comment-127998-20100824123858

This interface is pretty much a product of capitalist interests. Rather than providing good service to the editors, the interface is built to atract the attention of a more mainstream, ad-clicking audience. It is the ad-clicking audience that pays for wikia after all, not the editors.

But keep complaining. There is much that can be improved that does not endanger wikia's profits. To start with, I'd like the basic edit, history, delete, move, protect, recent changes and talk to be accessed with a single click. Article space just a teeny bit bigger too, please. Even ad-clickers come to the wiki to -read articles-.

Oh, here's an idea. Offer a default skin like this, but allow a much more editor-focused interface to be chosen in the preferences. Editors and regular editors will be happy, but the more ad-click-atractive interface will be default for people who don't care otherwise. Everyone is happy!

Surely, you can do that for your loyal customers? Ad-clickers pay, but we make the content that primarily atracts them in the first place.
