I'm not going to bother putting any more effort into this idiocracy. As I'm officially done with Wikia, I see no point in furthering this "debate" when all the Staff does is ignore the most pressing questions.

I will leave you with this though: Just because you have helped people on a gaming wikia, does not mean you know why we have very different needs.

"And you sound as though gaming wikis have a situation totally unlike others. This is untrue. Every wiki will use templates, and tables, and has an equal chance of having those stuffed up by a narrow fixed width if they are poorly designed. The issue is that those on gaming wikis have wider monitors (and yes, I do have one as well) and, often, they do not consider those computers who don't have such great monitors. And the statistics categorically demonstrate that at least a quarter have a resolution of just 1024 by 768, because they are either on a netbook or are using an old computer."

Here in lies your absolute hypocrisy as a dog of the Wikia Staff. As you cannot possibly know (and clearly don't) why gaming wikis require more content space, I should remind you that they catered to a disembarking WoWWiki with that bribe of more content space (that they ignored anyway) under such reasoning that people who played that 6-year old game, tended to have larger monitors. Maybe you should go talk to other admins on other gaming wikis and get a better understanding. Go talk to the Guild Wars or FFXI wikia admins who are either leaving or asking the same exact things I am, and getting no responses.
