Is the eventual goal of Wikia to completely remove content space? Every new update since Oasis has seen a staggering decrease in content space. Now we are literally at the point where---whether you are on a cell phone, tablet, or a computer---everything is smashed together in perhaps the most tacky, unprofessional, and downright horrendous layout ever produced by this company. I must emphasize smashed together because we are now at the point in which, if you decrease it any further, there will be no content space.

You refuse to listen to us. We didn't want Oasis. You forced it on us. We didn't want the fluid layout, but you forced it on us. We don't want this and you still force it on us. By some miracle of God, Monobook still exists, but I assume not for long, since users who use Monobook aren't affected by this update and therefore cannot cater to your precious mobile readers.

What amazes me is how simplistic and relatively the same Wikipedia remains while you lot champion the fact that you could never possibly settle on one design. That's just not possible at all! How dare your valuable editors and admins have a singular consistent design, that doesn't rob content space and still looks good on both their laptops and mobile devices! I mean, Wikipedia does all of that, but you people treat it like rocket science. Wikipedia has had the same basic layout for over ten years now. Very little has changed.

Their content space is plentiful, their text isn't enormous, and yet their mobile site functions perfectly as well. They don't force their editors to cater to the mobile-only crowd, or do you really think that people over there are worried about what their tables/infoboxes look like on a mobile device? Of course not. Wikipedia is coded so that the mobile displays one view, which allows for a clean, fluid look, while the desktop users are unaffected and can edit like normal.

Why can't Wikia, for once, get like this? So we can stop getting a new layout/"update"/shitfest every other month. We, as editors and admins, are sick to death of having to change our wikis everytime you lot change your mind on how things should look. We're tired of being ignored when we tell you all this isn't a good idea. But how should we know? It isn't like we don't work with this stuff every day. No, trusting us would just been too much. Not when the almighty dollar hangs over your heads.
