Instead of focusing on changing the navbar because of Wikia's unwarranted changes, why not focus the time and effort on leaving Wikia entirely and organising for the community to leave with the wiki? It would result in a solution that makes the wiki so much better and you will have more freedom to do what you want with The Sims Wiki. --[[Special:Contributions/116.124.73.163|116.124.73.163]] ([[User talk:116.124.73.163|talk]]) 17:33, June 13, 2017 (UTC)

Forums: IndexCommunity discussionsNav header changes | Post

As you may have noticed, Fandom (Powered by Wikia) have yet again forced through a controversial change with little advance warning that strips rights and powers away from local communities. Surprise!

But, in all seriousness, Fandom has pushed out a new navigation header for The Sims Wiki and other wikis. Unlike the old navigation header, the new header has only limited customizability on the local level. Specifically, we're allowed to change the header image and the background color, and that's it. The color that was set in place when the header launched clashed horribly with our wordmark, so I changed the background color to white for the time being. My question is, do we want to set the background color to something else, or change the header image? Because that's literally all we're allowed to do.

In closing, Fandom sucks. -- LiR talk · blog · contribs 16:55, June 13, 2017 (UTC)

Leave Wikia

Instead of focusing on changing the navbar because of Wikia's unwarranted changes, why not focus the time and effort on leaving Wikia entirely and organising for the community to leave with the wiki? It would result in a solution that makes the wiki so much better and you will have more freedom to do what you want with The Sims Wiki. --116.124.73.163 (talk) 17:33, June 13, 2017 (UTC)

For the reasons mentioned here and here, that's not a realistic solution. -- LiR talk · blog · contribs 17:46, June 13, 2017 (UTC)
