The changeover on the cthulhuwars wiki handicapped some of my personal css, which had hidden the recentwikiactivity and popular pages sidebars and the fan feed endbar, had reduced the font size on the fandom link endbar, and had added an Edit/VisualEditor/History/Rename/Protect/Delete/Talk topbar in place of the Explore/Discuss topbar.

I need wikia staff to inform me how to adjust my css for the new software.

Also, the new aesthetic for article comments is a lot uglier than it used to be, is there any way to adjust the site css to use the old style?

Also also, is there a way to turn off the zazzing up of the source editor? It takes significantly longer to load the edit window than before, and there's a noticeable lag whenever you actually type, which I can't imagine is intentional, but I also can't imagine how it could possibly have not been caught by QA. That's a significant quality downgrade, and the lag on typing is...pretty gotdamn unacceptable. Like, what the actual fuck with that.

EDIT: Just found out that even doing ctrl+f is a nightmare on this too. It hijacks the browser's native ctrl+f functionality, but it's a shittier version that can't even tell that " and ” are supposed to be the same symbol. I can't even comprehend how that feature possibly got approved.

Also also also, is there a way to turn off the required summary popup for saving changes? That's another thing that massively slows down editing needlessly.

Also also also also, to get file names listed under the file when an image is in a category? Removing the name makes checking filenames much more difficult.

Also also also also also, to get categories listed at the bottom of the page, where it listed all categories in order, and not just the first three?

There's just...a lot of things to this change that worsen the actual experience of editing. Completely putting aside the subjective disagreements on the aesthetics of the new format, the actual editing process has been made slower, more onerous, and more frustrating by many of the changes, and that's bewildering, considering that's...the core function of a wiki.
