Hello, fellow users of Wikia. Recently, Wikia has announced that they are changing it's skin and it's looking like what a socalizing website's format etc. and it doesn't match this Wiki or look like the Wikia at all, so I want to start a petition so Wikia can hear all of us or change it. Vote support if you agree to this and above or oppose if you want a new skin. This is the announcement of the new skin. This is a feature of the new skin. Thank you. -- Webkinz ManiaTalk 15:09, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

- Nearly everyone in those what... 1500 comments on the other blog announcing this hates the idea of a new skin, a new layout and all of these changes. But it feels like you are not taking feedback so we can just keep these skins and maybe you guys can make the activity bars under the sidebar bigger and maybe page history as a widget too. If you seriously want to have a new layout, sure, but don't give it to every wiki. Let it be an option and the admins can use it for their wikis or the users can use them for it. I agree with the previous few comments on several blogs. And at least make us change things including the top bar with the kinds of Wikis. I suggested to possibly add more and you should if you want to have the kinds of Wikis on the top. I mean, where's the fanfictions and more? There are several hubs that don't have it's own wiki front page and if you want to add the Entertainment and Lifestyle and Gaming wikis to the top of the bars, at least put more hubs or make us have a choice to add more wikis etc. to it. Al Poder was 100 percent right. I don't want this to be the new skin and at least listen to us to revert it or let the admins decide to keep Monaco or not for regular Wikis. SAVE THE SKIN!

- We don't need this type of change. I read the blog explaining it, and I don't understand how this will help new users understand any better. We should just keep it the way it is now. Dark clouds all around, lightning rain is pouring down! 15:32, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

- As an artist myself, I can tell you one thing about the new skin. After looking at it for five seconds, I can say without doubt, that the new wiki look that they're trying to install, sucks. It looks like a load of crap. Wikia, please consult us BEFORE making "important, amazing, completely new and trendy" decisions on us. Some of us like how Wikia is set up already. Why can't you get a clue? --Goldenshane 16:58, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

- I do think that the current skin is kind of boring, but I prefer it to this new one. At least keep the format the same. The Cartoon 18:20, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

- I agree, i like the wiki the way it is. --TDA15 is cool 18:51, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
- A new skin is unnecessary - the current is inviting and nice. :) DizzyLover
- Agreed.--TotalDramaFan1000 a booty as luscious as an apple 19:06, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
- The style we currently have is better, since it's more convinent for users. I would say we have to keep it how it is, what's the point on changing when we have already gotten use to this style. -XoTulleMorXo (talk and contributions) 19:21, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

- I feel it's disrespectful of the enormous amount of time and effort people have put into existing wikis. This is just a recipe for broken and abandoned wikis, I've seen it happen at other big sites, it would be a shame to see it happen here too, where site design leaves content in the dust and people come for content, not design.--Kollio 09:51, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
- I like how the new skin looks, but I put so much time into my wiki that I couldn't bear to have all of that flushed down the drain. This just proves that Wikia just doesn't care about us. --Chris talk blog 13:55, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

- Okay we have this nice petition -- HAS A PETITION EVER CHANGED WIKIA STAFF POLICIES? If not, this petition is a waste of time, worse, it is making people feel like they are accomplishing something when their anger and frustration can be vented more effectively somewhere else--where else I don't know we need effective solutions--and I don't think a petition is very effective. Ideas? Solutions which have worked in the past? Please message me on my talk page.Anno1404 01:12, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
