User blog comment:Acapnia/Petition to bring back the Monaco skin!!/@comment-3155630-20101231025657/@comment-13301-20101231113600

Why would they get rid of Monobook? Monobook does not need maintenance since it's part of MediaWiki.

Well, it wouldn't require maintenance if Wikia would change things ONLY for the Oasis skin, but no, they are changing things in the core MediaWiki functionality and thus affecting Monobook and other skins.
