The French and Dutch wikipedias have an even more noticable yellow background. Enough to make someone wonder why the page is different from other pages.
The French wikipedia seems to have made many improvements to their interface that I'm quite jealous of. I particularly like their "see also" templates. But I digress...
I've just put this code in my user monobook.css: #content { background: #e0F0FF; /* not a light blue */ }
It's much more noticeable. However, I see that the downside of tweaking the background colour is that it interferes with images. Mostly a problem for the Image: namespace, and pages like WP:FPC.
However, I really feel that we need to go further than just a background colour. From many points of view, it would be really desirable to clearly distinguish between the encyclopaedia (which probably includes the Image namespace) and the project. Having a single search box that searches both the encyclopaedia and the project is also wrong, imho. Could we somehow fix all these problems in one hit?
