I don't need to be linked to some clickbaity crap about DC comics while browsing the Hey Arnold wiki. Give us the Vector skin or something to remove the bar.

I don't know how I can ever reason with someone who thinks this insanity is anywhere near acceptable.

Yes, Live Chat is junk. No one uses that. When I have something to say, I go to the Talk page.

Yes, Trending Articles is junk. Major waste of horizontal space, which some content absolutely needs. I can't stress this enough: that column plus the margins take almost half of the screen's width. Besides, it's a distraction from what I want to read, the content of the page I'm on.

Yes, Fan Feed is junk. Three screens worth of visually chaotic crap that I didn't want to see in the first place! Again, why do you want me to move away from the information that I actually want? I went to that page because what I want is in that goddamn page, leave me alone!

Yes, Recent Activity is junk. It's only very mildy useful for admins, and completely pointless for the vast majority of readers. And again, not worth sacrificing the horizontal space.

I am so sick of what just happened. Monobook was my default skin and I cannot believe it was removed.

The removal of Monobook has nothing to do with GDPR. In fact, FANDOM wrongly blamed the EU and GDPR for the removal of Monobook. It was not their fault. It was FANDOM's fault. FANDOM does not care about GDPR or money. FANDOM only cares about everyone seeing stupid footer and sidebar garbage. In my opinion, we can live without them. Happily.

My wiki, Everythingyouneedtoknowaboutscience Wiki, '''is not an informal fanclub. It is a formal and educational website that only three administrators can edit, and a database of reliable primary sources, and people who are there are there to learn.''' What concerns me is that the Trending FANDOM articles and Fan Feed take up more than 80% of space, which could make students get off track and go there instead, which is what no teacher wants. I paired up with an admin of another Wiki, whom, using JavaScript, added a disclaimer that said:  does not support or endorse the content hosted by FANDOM, inc. or any other party. The only wikis I support are Cheetahrock63's wikis, Martha Speaks wiki (since I work on it and am friends with head guy Adam), and Polandball wiki (and Wikipedia of course). Nothing else.

The removal of Monobook and Vector permanently destroyed Uncyclopedia, and even though I have nothing to do with them, I am SICK of FANDOM for doing so. They also ruined my wiki.

I will not have a Chat on my wiki. Chat is garbage. Wikipedia does not use a chatclub, so I will not too. My site also has a Discord server; way better.

I highly recommend FANDOM adds the Vector, CologneBlue, and Minerva skins. Those are way better alternatives. I also hope that the admins of Monobook Wiki are able to recreate a Monobook theme for any wiki, including EYNTKAS.
