It's suspect that you just added IE11 to the supported browser versions only after I posted this but alright.

This poses the question, how much of Wikia's traffic is coming from users who use IE11? If there is just barely any traffic from it then I see no reason for hobbyist developers to actively support or consider those using it. For the longest time Wikia refused to support IE11 with the new VisualEditor which leads me to hypothesize that the amount of actual traffic coming from this browser is not all that great.

On-top of this scripts almost uniformly seek to enhance the experience of Wikis and rarely do they provide a noticeable detriment when a niche browser trips over scripts and fails to load them. Even still which browser you use is a choice and you can choose to not use one that is being left in the dust.

On Developer's Wiki all of our script infoboxes have a "supported browsers" section which can convey to users dead set on IE that they are choosing to miss out on the latest and greatest enhancements propagated by our wonderful community.

TL;DR just because some people want to be left behind doesn't mean everyone else should be held back.
