Yea! I got the __two little gray rectangles__ to go away from the mobile version of Wikivoyage Main Page... at least in my testing over at test.wikipedia.org.
The fix was to remove the id="mf-..." attributes two wiki tables.
Those were redundant and were causing the little rectangles in mobile. I removed those two id attributes and the two rectangles vanished from mobile version on testing. We are not using the table layout stuff for the mobile Main Page so don't want those.
Could an Admin please cut and paste the fixed code into Wikivoyage Main Page? It is temporarily stashed here: http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Main_Page/temp
You want my recent version of that page that has the edit summary "(Please paste this version of Main Page into Main Page. It removes the two unwanted little rectangles from the mobile version of the Main Page.)"
Thanks!
One little fix at a time.
Roger :-)

The image change I requested is a rather minor display detail affecting only mobile. Not important I guess, or someone might have done something about it. I would have but it requires admin flag to do because it is in a protected template that shows the Discover section on the Wikivoyage Main Page. If you're interested, I discussed it here:

James, are you an admin? Maybe you could do the photo swap? I'm not an admin so can't.

We should probably keep the main page and the subpages that make it up uneditable for a bit after the launch. Thanks for fixing this.

I did some tests on test.wikipedia.org Main Page, where I have admin flag and can edit Main Page, and found the title="....." attribute is optional. What it does is add a title to the section.
We don't want those extra section titles on Wikivoyage Main Page because we currently use Main Page section titles that link to stuff.
Mobile looks good now: http://en.m.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Main_Page
(drag your browser window to a phone sized width to see)
However, the Discover section has a problem. The Baden Baden photo (from last month) should be replaced with a Western Australia photo (our newest "Discover" item). Could an admin take care of this please. The [[Template:Discover]] is not editable by normal users at this time. Say, why don't we fix that? Hint hint...
The problem is the Baden Baden photo ends up, in the narrow window of a phone, above the Western Australia item which makes it look like a photo of Western Australia. Not good. But replacing it with a Western Australia photo would be logical and would fix this.
