I like this much better than the version that sits to the right. Only problem is that there are now two titles in a row plus the title bolded in the opening. This is overkill. Could we enlarge the size of the title in the template and ditch the standard title? I think that would look nice. --Joe Quick (Talk) 00:40, 8 July 2007 (CDT)

Hmm. Not quite what I meant. I liked the way the template looked (plus the main article bit). Aesthetically, I'd rather see the default title that automatically appears at the top of the article removed. (Or maybe move the template above the main title?) Are either of these even possible? --Joe Quick (Talk) 01:18, 8 July 2007 (CDT)
Not possible, as far as I know.  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 01:23, 8 July 2007 (CDT)
Apparently, Wikihow has figured out a way to do it.  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 01:30, 8 July 2007 (CDT)
