Forum:Page width

Is this a wider page I see before me and will it be staying??

 * Not a site-wide change, I'm afraid, and it's also not sure whether it'll be staying. Wikia is doing some A/B testing for changes to the FaceWikiShack skin, with each change only being seen by a small percentage of visitors. The things being tested include a smaller Wikia header, left-aligned sidebar and changes to the page width - there might be others, but these are the ones I've seen reported or which I've experienced myself. -- Porter21 (talk) 10:01, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is this why I see a "Read More" section with pics and links to other articles at the bottom of Fisherman's Pride shack?--Gothemasticator 20:33, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah I got that Read more now and lost the nice page width thatm I did have =( ☣Avatar☣ 20:51, December 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * @ Goth: No, that is Wikia's next great improvement! Auto-generated pretty pictures at the bottom of articles and at the top of category pages! Don't say that's not something you've always wanted! I mean, who wouldn't like having to scroll past stupid images when trying to look up pages in a category? -- Porter21 (talk) 20:58, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Who cares about getting the information you need, as long as there's some pretty pictures, eh? -- 21:34, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * From the announcement: "But category pages are just boring lists of links, and they make interesting topics look dull." Actually, that sounds kinda dull. I bet it would be a more appealing point of view like this:

"But category pages are just boring lists of links, and they make interesting topics look dull!"

Speaking of page width...
It looks like Wikia has just implemented their own bizarre fix for the wide template problem. I can't decide whether to be amused or disgusted that Wikia thinks this is an improvement... Perhaps it would be better if the templates expanded when hovered over instead of when clicked.

Also, what's with the broken indent on this page? ~ Gardimuer { ʈalk } 15:52, December 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep I got that one as well last night, along with the side rail disappearing. The broken indent is there to show that the table extends beyond what is seen, honestly I think it is the stupidest idea yet .... well until the next one from wiki =D ☣Avatar☣ 20:38, December 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Let's see whether they succeed in ironing out the bugs. Truth be told though, I think trying to fix a broken layout by adding JS popups is not the best approach (to put it mildly). -- Porter21 (talk) 11:15, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
