The archaic default WikiDot theme has been replaced with some custom CSS based on the Sigma-9 design, some bugs are still being worked out on mobile but even having the option of a mobile view is dramatically better than what's come before. If anyone has any issues or notices any problems please leave them here, we hope this attracts a new generation of readers to the Library!

Looks nifty. However, articles that use DIV tables are hella narrow. For example, my article Pass Over the Sea and Come To Land has rightmost 10% removed, while the Library is far more difficult to read than it was under the old layout.
There's also the issue of the SH logo burrowing into the black bar, which looks very off. Finally, it's almost impossible to distinguish between hyperlinks and normal text. If there is a way to change the color of links, that would be very useful.
e: I am also not a fan of centered links in the sidebar. I would much prefer them to be left-aligned, but this is an issue of personal taste, rather than usability.
This can all definitely be edited, we'll see about getting our friend ZeroStrider added as a temporary admin to iron out the bugs.

This is pretty sweet! I love Zyn's Hand logo.
Okay, so I made a few changes on my test site, you can find it here — http://zeros-pg.wikidot.com
Everything is applied to Wanderers' Library.
As you can see, the logo is now slightly smaller so the snake doesn't "kiss" the bar, it looks okay now in my opinion, but I'd like to hear yours.
I also changed links colours, you can see them in an example forum post in the link below.

I also decided that Gaffney does not match any existing user name is right about the centered links in the side menu, so I aligned them to the left. I hope it looks better now.
And now, for the most significant problem — I can't really fix the narrow divs, I'll now explain why.
The old theme kinda "prefers" when you use divs in your articles, if I can say so. That's because it was so wide that everything was flowing on the whole width of your monitor and divs kept these articles in place. Now the theme does that, but divs are still there, so some articles are ultra narrow.
And tbh, I can't fix it completely with theme changes, I think it might require you guys to change some articles' formatting.
The last thing is the broken mobile version, I can fix that once I get the admin permissions back. That's because it works just fine on my test site, just not here, so I'll have to look into it.
EDIT: Everything apart from mentioned divs has been fixed, but as I said, moving from such an old theme to a new, responsive one always brings problems like that, you have to change some of the articles, I really can't help it, even if I want to.
Are there any new problems spotted? How do you like new colours?
On mobile, the title, "The Wanderers' Library" wraps, so the final y overlaps the initial T. I suspect this is caused by the limited width of mobile browsers.
Thanks.
Exactly that. Wikidot won't let me do anything about it, sorry.
I like it quite a bit. My only complaint is that the voting module is dark red, as it appears on the SCP wiki. Was the use of the SCP module intentional, or would it be possible to create a WL version?
Also the quote on the main page looks weird but that's probably due to div formatting stuff.
