How is this a compromise when it doesn't address any of our issues?

You're requiring ALL editors to add custom CSS to do what default MediaWiki already did perfectly and telling us we can't allow it to be wiki-wide. This truly brings out the meaning of Ignorance is bliss. New(er) users won't realize they are making a mistake when adding categories unless they add code (which, chances are, no one will do but those of us complaining about this) just to be able to tell they either 1) did something wrong or 2) need to properly add the category to where it belongs in the category tree.

The true definition of a compromise is a settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions. This settlement is far from a conceded point.

It really becomes tedious and tiresome to keep Wikia looking consistent when every new feature changes the way we do our job and/or the way Wikia looks. If you were so interested in keeping a consistent look... keep the look consistent.

Wikipedia still shows 'new' categories as red links. Why? Because it's helpful to any editor that wishes to contribute and create the page. Normal links for red-linked categories actually removes that entire aspect of contributions down to the bare minimum of those that deal with the categories to maintain the category tree.

Please address our concerns and rethink this entire idea.
