If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
It is a relatively complex thing to implement, and therefore will take several days or weeks to realise. Please try to have patience with the overall design as it is shaped on the site. There will undoubtedly be "signs of construction" in the days ahead.
You will see a major shift in the design of the wiki within the next 24 hours, followed by more incremental design changes thereafter.
Users wishing a "preview", of sorts, can go to our design laboratory.
Users wishing to comment on the new design may do so two weeks from today at Forum:Comments about the new design. This gives some time for the design to be implemented, and for users to get used to it, before noting the changes they'd like to make.

Thank you for your indulgence as we strive to make this a more vibrant and unique Wikia experience.
