Haha, are you new to Wikia? There is never 'an option' to keep using what you like ;) What wikia says usually goes :P

But for once I think this is a positive change. It is a more logical place for the search bar and looks ok. It might be good to move the right sidebar a bit up now that there is room. There's a lot of dead space there to begin with since they got fluid layouts.

Then just give admins the options of changing the color, make it a bit smaller, and use version 2 of the navbar. Everybody's happy.
