Help:What's different on Miraheze?

Page is a WIP

Things operate a little bit differently on Miraheze than they do on Wikia. Here's a few things that are different on The Sims Wiki now that we're on Miraheze.

Wider layout
On Wikia, page content was restricted to a fairly narrow layout, surrounded by a lot of wasted sidebar space on both sides. The left side was completely blank or filled with annoying advertisements, while the right side contained the infamous Wikia Rail that contains distractions like "Featured Pages" showing irrelevant content. Page content often appears squished and narrow, and pages appear to get long fast, even when they aren't.

On Miraheze, page content gets more than 80% of the screen's width on desktop, meaning that content won't appear squished or compressed. Everything will be comfortably spaced out and there is a lot more breathing room in all of the pages. This makes some community pages, like the community portal, look more spacious and modern.

Sidebar
The classic sidebar on the left side of the screen replaces the wiki navigation bar at the top of the screen. This means that page content isn't pushed further down the screen, so there is no need to scroll down to read the page's content. Customizable tooltips can be added to the sidebar, and unlike the wiki navigation bar on Wikia, there is no irremovable "Explore" column; everything in the sidebar can be customized.

Deleting
Deleting a page works much the same way it does on Wikia. The main difference is that, when you delete a page, you get sent to a screen confirming the deletion and offering you options to view the deleted page or protect it from recreation, rather than being sent pointlessly to the main page.
