 * sigh*

Can I politely ask you to actually read my post? In it I said that those admins who do not know how should be told how they can make it look better. Taking my home wiki, Wookieepedia as an example, view it using that link so that you see it with Monobook (and you might want to compare it to the Oasis version too). I'd call that more than the blank white/blue links that an unmodified Monobook has (of course, the color scheme still happens to be blue and white out of community preference but that's irrelevant to the point I'm making).

Then, after re-reading my link to a comparison of skin users on that same wiki (it's more of a proportion of the active writers, not actual numbers), I'd love to see what happens if you go into and say that Monobook is "crap, old and not up-to-date" :P

As to the "Recent Activity" (which I assume you mean one of those widgets) it's much more useful (at least from a technical point of view [shows number of characters +/-; easy links to editor's talk/contribs; allows for more changes to be viewed]) to use the RCs. As you've probably gotten used to RecentActivity and, judging by the nature of your reply, you'll no doubt disregard any possible merit of RecentChanges.

I'm happy to accept that you personally prefer RA to RCs as well as Monaco to Monobook, but don't just dismiss them straight off the bat when it isn't the case (eg. Monobook definitely isn't plain white and blue, if your admins can be bothered to make it look good [which, in all fairness, as admins, they should)]
