New FFXI Wiki Design Sucks... Any Alternates?

2010, year of the bad UI

iirc this change is tied to Wikia wanting some obscure bs (more ads?....) and even WowWiki wanted to leave Wikia.
edit: if you can still change to monobook past nov 4th.... holy ***.

Yeah, this is something Wikia (the hosting company) is doing, not the FFXIclopedia crew. The ffxi wiki admins have been trying hard to work with the Wikia staff, but the Wikia staff are trying very hard *not* to work with any wiki admins (ffxi or otherwise).

Personally, I've rebuilt the page's CSS rules as a user style here.

I'm fairly happy with it, though I also have a few other variants in a post on the first page of that thread as well (also, a couple other small rules for minor tweaks I can toggle on and off). Depends on a Firefox extension, though, so if you use another browser you'll have to find some other way to adapt it.
