== Design again! ==

The design is largely settled. Two suggestions remain outstanding, which I am not sure of. Quiddity has suggested that the color of the sidebar be a grey (as in this revision) instead of the current color. He also suggests that the first two parts (the admins and the TFA sections) each be given a heading. I am disinclined to do either, as I prefer it the way it is, but if his opinion is widely shared I would likely make the change. So if you have thoughts—please share! Otherwise, thanks again to everyone who has made comments through this process. ÷seresin 19:22, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Be certain to test any design against all of the skins; not everyone uses monobook or vector. This is a common oversight many people make when changing the appearance of pages, & the result is that those of us who use the alternative skins experience all sorts of accessibility problems. Thanks. -- llywrch (talk) 05:40, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it is better as is. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
