The wiki is entirely subject to change based on community input. That is how a wiki is built. Literally anything about the wiki can and should be up for discussion. With that said, here's my exception which I'm ignoring rules on:
'Structured talk pages'💩
Page Template:Quote/styles.css has no content.
Based on these findings, we propose that wikitext talk pages should be improved, and not replaced.
I will never implement structured talk pages, and will oppose all calls to introduce it.
It makes talk pages look terrible to read and hard to follow, and gives everything a horrible grey colour. It removes the artistic flair editors put in to designing their lovely signatures, and all the colour that comes along with it. It removes all of the wonderful formatting options we have access to when writing messages to each other. It destroys the soul of the wiki. Nearly all different language Wikipedia projects have refused to fully implement this feature, for these reasons.
It is clear the Wikimedia Foundation and MediaWiki developers are working on a way to make talk pages more accessible through the current infrastructure of a normal page, as opposed to a complete rewrite of how talk pages work. Because of this and the concerns above, I'm refusing to implement this feature and will actively resist any calls to put it in. 
Using talk pages is so easy to learn as well!
