[Wikia-l] Monobook vs Monaco in text mode

[James Twyford]

Have the monaco designers looked at how pages look in a text-mode
browser (I'm using elinks) as compared to monobook?

Picking some random article while logged out:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Ashbringer[?useskin=monobook]. In Monobook, 21
pages... In Monaco: 32. Actual article content: 18 pages. (1 page is
24 rows of 80 characters, a standard terminal window size)

I know this is the reason the for the blind wikis are still using
monobook (or they were the last time I heard about it), but is there
any plan to fix this? Especially the two pages of cruft before page
content. I'd like to think this would help the almighty page rank
too... Less junk on the page certainly makes the job easier for the
spiders.

Thoughts?
