You are welcome to choose the original monobook (wikipedia) skin in your preferences, though many of the newer features are not available with that.

I understand your concern. However, Wikia has had $14m of investment, and isn't closing down in the foreseable future. Shutting down without notice and without making the content available is out of the question!

One downside to a mirror is that it could affect the search engine rank if it gets classed as duplicate content, which could make it harder for new readers to find the wiki. If it is done, I recommend adding 'noindex' metatags to one of them. On Oct 5, 9:16 pm, Frédéric BERNON <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I found all the wiki pages on "live search" cache.
