It looks disgusting and very messy, try the cleaner look. Hate incoming !

Yo, just because you don't like or need the different layout Monobook uses compared to Oasis doesn't mean everyone who does is old and likes disgusting things (I turned 25 the day it was disabled, and I hold that the biggest part of my preference on Wikia is because Oasis doesn't play nice with my disability, in a way that can't easily be rectified because the two biggest issues I can figure out are things that would fundamentally alter the skin if changed). :P They're both designs that are adequate for different use cases and different people. Isn't it great that we're all people and can have different preferences and needs? Earth's great! :D

It was a VERY unpleasant surprise to see that the entire Wiki has been set up to a new layout. I'm the admin of the Dutch tram wiki (with 20.000 pages) and to say the truth; I definitely DON'T like the new skin.

If I can find another farm where they are not using this stupid new Oasis skin I move the entire content over there. Monobook worked very well for me the past 11 years, even the Monaco layout worked better than the new one.

And to blame the EU for this is not a fair reason, just be honest and tell to truth; You just want to display as many ads on each page as possible and the GDPR was just a very nice coincidence to get rid of monobook.

A very dissapointed admin of one of the Wikia sites...

I got an email to two of my Monobook-using accounts ((ones with Monobook set in preferences) but not the third... maybe because it hasn't been used in awhile...). I'm sure some people don't have emails they check attached to their Wikia accounts, so there could have been a wider warning, but there was a warning sent to at least some affected accounts.

(Also, FWIW, Oasis is at least six years old. Hardly new, just new to you.)
