Well, I do like media wiki for it's clean look and
feel, but on some pages, it is still too busy looking
with that title there, especially if It's a long one.

Secondly, why is there a discrepancy between Talk and
Discussion?  You click on Discussion on the top, and
then it brings up a page labelled Talk.  Of course I
know it's the same, but I get asked that question a
lot.

Thirdly, sometimes I'd prefer to put my own headline
at the top without actually moving the page.  For
instance, is there an easy way of changing the "Main
Page" without breaking things?  I presume that one
might not be too hard.  Also, one portion of our wiki
has links between talk pages (ie, with Next and
Previous links), but instead of going to article, we
go to talk/discussion pages because we like how the
"+" shows up for editing at the bottom of a page. 
Thus, all the pages in that portion of the wiki have
the ugly Talk: at the beginning.

Too bad.  I was hoping it would be easy.
