It’s essentially unusable this morning. Endless scrolling, text disappears among enormous symbols. Looks as if it has been re-jigged for phones and is unable to recognise a browser.
The wikia? Looks and is perfectly useable to me on Firefox.

Something something welcome to modern web design
On a more serious note, I think this is on your end. Or possibly you’re the victim of an unfortunate A/B test, in which case try the usual stuff like clearing cookies and cache. Not that the usual wikia design is a paragon of usability.

That would surprise me, since I’m also on the latest Firefox.
The wiki seems okay to me. There might have been a change in the wiki assets that don’t seem to be agreeing with your browser, or worse, not being compatible with your region’s ISP.
The latter case happened to me before; entire Wikia.com content was inaccessible to me because they kept timing out. I had this problem for several months until finally something went right.
P.S. The current tan backdrop for the Fallen London wiki makes for terrible contrast with the teal highlights for words with links.

Yeah, not a fan. Thanks for the alternative suggestions. As it happens, my ISP is a very small outfit.
Hi, I’m the person who did the FL wiki redesign. We’ve changed the complete colour scheme and a few images (such as the header image) about ten days ago. We have made no changes since then, so whatever you are experiencing is probably either a Fandom-related thing or (grasping for straws here) you are using a browser extension that blocks required services. Personally, I’ve not been having any problems since the changes were finished.
We had a little trial run and I got a lot of positive feedback on the new colour scheme. I have made the link colour a bit darker now, I hope that helps a little. Originally we used the same colour as for the buttons (both on the FL-redesign and now on the wiki). It may take a little while for the adjusted colour to show for everyone, I’m not sure what kind magic MediaWiki and/or Fandom are doing behind the scenes.
I don’t have any experience with designs for people having issues with colour perception so it’s possible that I’m making some fundamental mistakes here. Basically I’m using the the same colour scheme the Fallen London Redesign uses, hoping that Failbetter checked for such things.
I hope the change helps.
As a general remark: If anyone has issues with the wiki, feel free to contact either me ("rahv7" on the wiki, reddit and here) or adnoam (on the wiki and on reddit, "dov" here on the forum).
Dunno if you did this or the wikia peeps, but the search bar has been completely inaccessible to me for a while now. I have javascript/etc disabled, for obvious reasons. To search, I have to google for the search page (which still works).
There was a recent layout change done by FANDOM, and instead of an always accessible search bar there’s a search icon at the very top of the window - right next to the log-in icon and the "start a wiki" button.
