"If you have questions about what I removed and why, let's talk about it rather than adding it back behind my back."

"'If Fandom staff are not satisfied with the design choices made here, please contact Hackey5 on his wall to make specific mention of what should not be modified from its default state with reference to the related phrase in policy. The complex nature of the code means that removing random selectors has the potential to break the layout of elements associated with them and this may impact other completely separate elements. Keep in mind that optimisations are made where the default state of an element is poorly designed, uses inefficent syntax, is inconsistent or is outdated. Effort is made to ensure that the site maintains a high quality design that is creative yet familiar to that of common Fandom wikis.'"

The invitation to discuss has always been present at the head of the CSS. And for good reason. By removing selectors without regard for their function and deep integration, it is effectively a form of vandalism to the aesthetic design of this wiki. From the perspective of the viewers of the wiki, this is inappropriate and careless (the wiki now has the appearance of being in broken state). I cannot conscientiously allow this if I am to be rightly responsible for the wiki, as I have been for years now.

I value and encourage communication. It is how we come to new solutions. The CSS I have developed is a solution to the many issues present within the default CSS, combined with many enhancements to appeal to the viewer and improve their ease of use. If you would like to dispute my implementations, please identify the specific code in question, cite the relevant phrase in policy of which is being violated, and justify its functional reasoning. I am happy to discuss, but as I have spent many hours of my time over many years developing the code for the benefit of our viewers, I expect detailed addresses to each of the apparent issues.
