I can at least partially see the merit in that. However, that leads us back to why WoWWiki gets special treatment yet no other gaming wikia, which would also fall under your reasoning does not get this treatment.

Also, while average users will be able to adjust their own CSS (or whatever alternative you give), you need to give the admins more ways to adjust the initial look for all users, registered or otherwise, to increase width and the like. It is a massive part of what is angering people (not the biggest but its definently one of the top reasons people hate Oasis). You have completely taken away many customization options for the Admins. First impressions are the most important aspect in drawing in users as is true with anything new.
