It would be better if Wikia had more information to give us before announcing this new skin.

Also, a beta test is not supposed to be done on prototypes or mostly unfinished software. That's why it's "beta" and not alpha. A beta test is supposed to happen when the software design is mostly done and you're looking for bugs that your testers couldn't find because they have to do with issues of scale or a more un-experienced user perspective.

Is this an alpha test disguised as a beta test?
