FFXIclopedia/wikia errors

[Folken]

As with most people, I use BG wiki since its the most continually updated (Yet still lagging due to constant content). however for detailed old content, i rarely look at wikipedia, thats more for indepth guides or information. for wiki as it loads, i hit the stop button next to the address bar and that seems to stop or severly limit the lag, however i don't like doing that for every page i load so i limit the use of wiki

I've never experienced this lag on ffxiclopedia, but I've used the monobook skin since they changed the layout to monaco. If you want to use it, I suggest signing in and changing the skin. It also fixes some of the broken tables that were made before the change.

It's unfortunate that not too many moved on to Gamer Escape with us, and as such, I can't really recommend it as a (full) replacement (should work for some of the stuff), as I'm pretty much the only one editing there... and there's lots to be fixed and new stuff to be added still! ^^;

I was under the impression that the GamerEscape exodus was caused, mostly, by changes that Wikia were forcing on ffxiclopedia. Changes like the monaco skin being default. Then GamerEscape started and had the same fixed-width layout, so I stuck with the wiki I knew.

That is correct. At least one of the reasons was indeed to have more control on the site.

I was against the layout they chose to go with as well, as it feels cramped to me, but at least there are multiple layouts to choose from (and which to customise). That being said, my Monobook layout is still in effect for Wikia sites, but I'm not sure if it's an actual choice without manually creating it...
