On another note, in the spirit of going with the flow and making constructive criticisms and inquires as opposed to just complaining, I asked if there was any possibility of increasing the size of the navigation menu, as opposed to the current fixed number of four slots, 7 spots apiece. This is the response I got:

"I'll pass this feedback on, thanks both But something to consider: when we analyzed how people used the navigation on Monaco, and how they navigated the wikis in general, we found that the longer the navigation the less it was used. People would click the most obvious links, but rarely went further in to the menus and sub-menus presented to them. If there were just a few menus with sub-items, with the most popular pages at the top, they found what they were looking for more often. And that means that they stuck around and read more of the wiki as a whole"

So... maybe we'll see something come out of this. Not a total shoot-down, but also not a "Yeah, we can probably swing it". And she did explain their reasoning, which is a lot more than they had been doing.
