Okay, the puzzle is finally solved. It is indeed the comma that is giving problem as the comma is used as an end-marker.

Hi, I managed to solve the problem! The Monobook.css did not work on the redirection of the main page. I took away the redirectionhttp://www.aseanpedia.com/Main_Pageand it works!
I did alter Mediawiki:mainpage. What else should I alter?

Hi, I was just wondering whether it is illegal to have a comma in the page title, as in:
Aseanpedia, the free online unofficial ASEAN Encyclopedia
Could this be the reason why the Monobook.css doesn't seem to want to work?

Hi John, thank you for the reply. I commented out the relevant section in main.css and refreshed the screen but it refused to work. I then deleted the section completely but it still didn't work either. I thought that by restarting the computer, it would work but it didn't.
Actually, I am still having problems with:
body.page-Main_Page #siteNotice { display: none; }
in Monobook.css. It looks like the Monobook.php page is not working. Do I need Monobook.js? (I didn't use it as it is said to be superseded by Common.js.)

The first heading is actually controlled from main.css http://www.aseanpedia.com/skins/monobook/main.css?195
In that file you will find this line:
#firstHeading { margin-bottom: .1em; line-height: 1.2em; padding-bottom: 0; }
The firebug plugin for FireFox is a great tool for identifying these css issues.

Hi, it seems like my Mediawiki.Monobook.css file is not working. I have:
body.page-Main_Page h1.firstHeading { display: none; }
in Monobook.css but the page title still appear in my homepage at Aseanpedia< http://www.aseanpedia.com/Aseanpedia,_the_free_online_unofficial_ ASEAN_Encyclopedia>. It used to be working fine until I transferred my Mediawiki files into a folder instead of in publichtml, thinking it is neater. However, it did not work, so I reverted it to its original position. All other functions seem to work just fine, except this page.
