Naturally. Wikia wants to make a radical change to their interface.

Step 1: Propose something even more extreme. Step 2: When everyone is horrified, they scale their design back to something that is what they actually wanted. Step 3: Everyone goes "Well, at least we didn't get that first even more horrible design!" Step 4: The new intended design is implemented.

Wikia wins, everyone else loses.
