Turn off page title

Is there any way to disable the large title at the top of the main page? I know Wikipedia has it off. --AaronR 02:01, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

At the top of every page, or just the main page? Anyway, I'll look around. --Voidious 02:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Just the main page. --AaronR 02:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I updated the Sandbox with one change - stealing 5% from the "Welcome to RoboWiki" part and giving it to the column with "1-vs-1 Bots". That look OK to you? Before, bot with "1-vs-1 Bots" and "Melee Bots" were forced to two lines in any reasonable sized browser for me. Other than that tiny thing, it looks great! --Voidious 02:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

It looks kind of odd in my browser; I'm using Firefox on Windows XP, on a wide screen laptop. On my browser, the column shows up fine the way it was. Still, it only looks weird because one column is wider than the rest. I'll change all of the columns on the main page to the larger size. --AaronR 02:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
It's definitely better now, but still requires a pretty wide browser. I'm using FireFox and Safari, which require 890 and 970 pixels, respectively, to get "1-vs-1 Bots" and "Melee Bots" on a single line, which I think is too wide. I'm on a 1280x800 widescreen laptop, but I don't maximize my browser... Let's not worry about it for now, though, we can tweak such minor design points later on. =) --Voidious 02:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Radar

Should we have a link to Radar stuff, as without that, most movement and about all targeting is useless. I can probably handle the creation of the Radar stuff, I have a few good code snippets I have worked up from before, for atleast One on One. --Chase-san

Article count

A couple questions about the article count (after having some trouble Googling for answers). First, why isn't it updating automatically? Is that something I can trigger to update, or add to the "job queue", does anyone know? (Notice if you edit / preview it is higher than 43, which it reads on the main page right now.) Second, what qualifies as an "article"? Is there a minimum length that a page needs to be (other than not being a user or talk page) to qualify as an article? --Voidious 19:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
