	Looks fine to me. Less is always more, and keeping the links relevant is just as important. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 10:30, 27 February 2008 (CST)		Looks fine to me. Less is always more, and keeping the links relevant is just as important. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 10:30, 27 February 2008 (CST)

			Since we already have links to other wikis in the toolbar, how about removing the language bar on the main page? Or moving it somewhere out of the way? It wasn't too bad at the top, but now it's smack in the middle of the page and kinda ugly. Having those links twice is unnecessary anyways. Remember we're on on "en.battlestarwiki" here. I think most people choose their language when clicking on "www.battlestarwiki.org" and not from here. -- [[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 13:33, 27 February 2008 (CST)
