EG Redesign - Ideas and Suggestions?

[Avengium]

Would it be fiendishly difficult to port the entire EG to a more traditional wiki-style format? Or at least something with better/easier search functionality? Maybe something with fun multimedia functionalities, pop-up windows, etc.?

I agree with previous statements to the effect that the current aesthetic of the EG is great as-is, but I feel like we could make the under-the-hood stuff a bit more streamlined/efficient/etc.

I suggested the wiki style many times too. But admins here are not fond of the wiki format.

As ProxCenBound says in post #19 of this thread, the wiki format has many advantages. We can have lots of special pages with features and lists already coded. We can create "user groups" and put rights and permissions based on user groups and we can limit who can edit or not and who can do comments, likes, and lots of things.

I know a lot about wikis because I manage more than one wiki and all the facilities that a wiki provides are very noticeable when it comes to managing a large volume of pages.

For people who want more customization, there are lots of skins: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:All_skins

And local admins can keep customizing the skins with CSS pages.
For example, this one is using Cosmos Skin: https://mystfalllore.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

And these wikis are using Timeless skin:

Lots of features on every wiki: https://softcell.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages
