Talk:The Future of Fandom

About how stupid this is
Sure, this will unite fans. Unite fans to want to change the logo back, as it's so ugly.

You change in Halloween
Change all blue

this futur is terrible
We try to make nice wiki, and we will have this thing purple with yellow text on the side ? https://i.imgur.com/8ujFQAT.png https://i.imgur.com/YkSsXPU.png You think that this is fine ? --GKPlight (talk) 14:51, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

“For the love of the fans”
We hate Fandomdesktop, is it not clear enough? People have quit because of your useless updates. If you cared for the fans you would listen to what they have to say, which is DONT REMOVE OASIS.I’m devastated, Oasis was a simple design that was quite good. There was no need for change yet you did it. Hope you change it. Btw the yellow bar sucks.

The Culmination of Poor Decision Making
"Most fans who come to the wikis land on a page that they found on a search engine results page, find the information they were looking for, and then leave without ever knowing they were on Fandom and all the great content that your wiki has to offer."

Yeah.

That's what a wiki is for.

If you care more about your branding than the functionality of your wikis, why have wikis at all? Sell them off to someone who actually wants to host a website for wikis instead of constantly sacrificing more and more functionality for the sake of trying to get people to read your articles.

Is this just me,,..
...or does the new logo remind me of the Miraheze logo? (Probably because they're both geometrical two-colour representations of something from nature: respectively, a fire and a sunflower.) KMFStudios (talk) 15:15, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey guys!
hey! I got idea! get wikia help!

"For the love of fans"
If there is love, why don't listen to fans? They don't want Fandomdesktop to be the only theme on this website. P.S. The logo is not that bad, but using mustard yellow as a header isn't a good idea. Itogi (talk) 16:35, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Fandom is ruining its design.
So first we has this AWFUL new design: At least it wasn't forced as soon as it came out, but now THIS which is forced right as it came out: This does not blend well with dark mode wikis. If you need evidence: I'm okay with you rebranding, but please don't force changes without the users' approval. Alesjif (talk) 17:00, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Preach! I use Opera GX with Darkmode, it just makes the yellow even more obvious, it's annoying. Robloxianredditor (talk) 17:23, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's only vaguely distracting for logged-in FandomDesktop users (I don't have a problem too awful much with FandomDesktop overall), but for people still on Oasis (and logged-out FD users!) the garishness of the global nav distracts from the actual content. I kid you not, I screamed for a minute and a half straight "WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU", which is out of character for me even for the things staff has done in the past that I've strongly disliked or found accessibility issue with (see: I REALLY had trouble with the removal of Monobook but even for that I did not literally scream out loud about it. - Citrusellaeditswikis (talk) 18:21, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

So is it me...
Or will I be the only one staying in Fandom and getting used to Fandom Desktop while everyone else leaves Fandom just because they hate the new design? SafariKid2 (talk) 18:03, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You're not the only one. FandomDesktop is actually an improvement for me, as it allows quicker access to wiki tools for the more experienced users. KMFStudios (talk) 18:12, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Did anyone ask for this?
I've been on Fandom for nearly 10 years now, with my original account dating back to 2011 or so. I've seen the site transition from Monaco to Oasis, ditching Monobook and forums, and developing Oasis 2.0 and I can safely say this is the worst revision of the skin for this site. All these dumb and restrictive changes have actively moved so many communities over to Miraheze or their own independent servers instead, and will cause more to do so in the future. So I sincerely ask, as a long-time editor, please don't force these changes that clearly no one is happy with.--Amelia:  The Dork of Steel  (T/C) 18:26, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
