User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-11515627-20141213211444

Text is far too big, the wrapper is too small, and the wiki activity box is really bad. I've been in Wikia's corner through-and-through with modernization, from the Oasis skin to the new navbar, but this isn't good. It doesn't look like a wiki anymore, it looks like a badly-designed fan site. I hate to admit this, too. I'm all for keeping things up to date, but this, this is bad. Text doesn't need to be that big, especially for longer articles. It feels like we're all being herded to conform to something far too simplistic.

In my opinion, Wikipedia has the best design of any website on the internet (for its purpose). It is super simple, and the focus is on the content, and yet, the font size is only around 13px! When this goes through I actually WILL be switching back to monobook with CSS enhancements (which will take me days to do, with time that I honestly would rather spend writing articles). I didn't think I'd ever switch back to monobook.... *sighs*
