you upgrade your monitor from monochrome to 16 colors. Read

subpages in the main, encyclopedia-article namespace; he is not
against them in "meta-" namespaces. Furthermore, I am equally
against them, for the reasons he has elaborated, and have expressed
as much. LMS is not the final arbiter of all Wikipedia
functionality, in spite of your assertions to the contrary, though he
does have considerable influence over Wikipedia's course. Most
people realize that. A few insist on oversimplification, with
increasingly frustrating results.
Thanks. I couldn't agree more.
There hasn't ever been a real consensus about subpages. There's been a
controversy and a need to arrive at a decision that reflected, to the
best of my ability, a fair assessment of the range of opinions on the
issue.
