Forum:New Wikia header bar: Difference between revisions

In-line with the [[The Sims Wiki:Site feature policy]], I feel the community should be made aware of an upcoming ''mandatory'' change to the appearance of the wiki. Specifically, Wikia is rolling out a new Global Navigation bar, replacing the current Wikia navigation bar. The Global Navigation bar is still in beta and is being tested on limited wikis, but every indication is that this design will be applied to all wikis within a month or so. You can read the full blog introducing the changes [[w:User_blog:Rupert_Giles/Introducing_Updated_Global_Navigation|here]]. But to sum up the changes:

{{VoteAgainst}} '''Oppose''' - The only part of this I care for is having the search bar be available w/o having to scroll back to the top of the page. "Search this wikia" and "Start a wikia" not only grate, they can foster confusion between Wikia the company/service and the wikis it hosts. Visually, "Search this wikia" and "Search all of Wikia" are too similar; "wiki" and "wikia" are more distinct than "Wikia" and "wikia". Also, I think individual wikis should be able to customize the color of the bar and the shape of the search box, in keeping with their individuak visual "brands".
