I can respect the decision to remove a feature that wasn't being used on many other wiki's. If true, that should be enough.

But claiming that it was taking up space when the replacement leaves just as much empty space between it and the Fandom Bar? That's just doesn't seem like a very good excuse.

What I mean is, if a feature isn't being used, then it's just taking up space that could be used for something else. In this case, a link to the Community Page, which is a lighter touch entry point for potential new contributors. It also removes code that doesn't serve a wide use, which is something that engineers prefer to do instead of maintaining code that is only used by a small fraction of people.
