We do repeat these advices because when and if they take an action against the breaker, we do not feel bad for not have been clear enough. I myself have passed through a not so pleasant situation in which part of the CSS I had added was /* commented-out */ by a Wiki Manager (Fandom staff). I tried to reduce the contrast of the wiki title on the header. I though, "wElL, iT's jUsT a tiiiny chAnge..." But nope. It was not allowed. I removed the code, and no longer touched the wiki title. On the other hand, I wanted to install a script to display a background on the morning, another on the afternoon, and a third during the night, and it was approved :) So, rules are clear, we're all (pretend-to-be) adults, we try and act on good faith, and most important: saying that there are dozens of wikis doing wrong won't save you if they choose you to enforce the policies. you gave an example about changing the header, wich is clearly way more sensitive to them as they specified a special rule for that "Changes to the local navigation, page header and article header" even though they can fit in the "Removal, changed placement or changed functionality of ads, spotlights, standard Fandom features" rule. thus plus the fact that a lot of wikis remove the fan feed i think its not considered breaking the rules; and even if it is, its a minor offense that i, at least, dont see enforced.

i disagree with you, because even if they will decide to enforce that, a rule that is not even clear, the punishment wont be hard or even be there at all. they might just send warnings to fix that. its not conveiable that theyll punish harshly so many wikis.
