Just a few partly related thoughts:

Lately, with the mobile world becoming ever more substantial with so many users of smartphones and tablets, it leads developers working towards mobile solutions, which they should be. It's all good and well, but more and more often I have been seeing things being designed for desktop that almost seem to have been modified from something originally designed in a mobile format. I just want to say that I hope at no point this becomes evident on Wikia. Unfortunately, things like the new header and this venus skin appear to have that direction in mind, and I disagree.

The desktop is the more powerful machine, and it should be the example to build upon in terms of design and capability. Obviously, mobile is quite a bit more limiting, despite the convenience of accessing it being a lot higher these days. When it comes to compatibility, please don't settle for a mobile variant of something being tweaked to suit the desktop, because this often reduces the potential and quality of the desktop version or simply looks lazily designed. With an increasing focus on mobile, finding universal support is the most efficient way to go, but if this isn't possible, (speaking broadly) try not to associate specific mobile design aspects with desktop design.

Anyhow, good luck for 2015!
