;Things looking awful? Here's why...
* You may have noticed that the font size has increased and parts of the wiki appear broken and oversized. This isn't any crappy experimentation gone wrong on our end, but on Wikia's. See [[w:User_blog:Rupert_Giles/Layout_Changes:_Breakpoints_and_Typography|this page]] for what Wikia did. Reception to this change has generally been negative, but Wikia simply doesn't seem to care and are proceeding with the changes. The oversized fonts have brought nothing but anger as people comment on how it ruins the desktop skin of the site. Wikia's rationale was apparently "The mobile skin is broken and looks like crap, so we're making this change to the desktop skin," which doesn't make any sense at all, since mobile users use the mobile skin while desktop users use the desktop skin. And as many people commented: "The mobile skin looks like crap and to compensate, Wikia breaks the desktop skin, possibly to try to 'balance' things out." '''Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this change without violating Wikia's Terms of Use''', although if you have an account, you may be able to fix some of the brokeness on your own screen with [[w:Special:MyPage/global.css|personal CSS]].
