<div dir="ltr">Heya,<br><br>I noticed your message earlier on IRC :) I brought up the issue with Wikia briefly, though in the context of mobile browsing. I think it's a fair point, as mobile browser usage is ever increasing, and Monaco isn't perfect for small screens and simple browsers. Assuming you're not going to do a lot of editing from such browsers, one workaround for the moment is to set up a second account with your prefs set on a simple skin, to save you changing it each time you visit.<br>
<br>Do many people use text only browsers? What kind of situations?<br><br>Regards,<br>George (Kirkburn)<br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/10/4 James Twyford <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jtwyford@gmail.com">jtwyford@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Have the monaco designers looked at how pages look in a text-mode<br>
browser (I'm using elinks) as compared to monobook?<br>
<br>
Picking some random article while logged out:<br>
<a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Ashbringer%5B?useskin=monobook%5D" target="_blank">http://www.wowwiki.com/Ashbringer[?useskin=monobook]</a>. In Monobook, 21<br>
pages... In Monaco: 32. Actual article content: 18 pages. (1 page is<br>
24 rows of 80 characters, a standard terminal window size)<br>
<br>
I know this is the reason the for the blind wikis are still using<br>
monobook (or they were the last time I heard about it), but is there<br>
any plan to fix this? Especially the two pages of cruft before page<br>
content. I'd like to think this would help the almighty page rank<br>
too... Less junk on the page certainly makes the job easier for the<br>
spiders.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
