A late comment about the very first header on the page ("MediaWiki is a collaboration and documentation platform brought to you by a vibrant community.").

Placement: Do we want to show this header as if it was a normal wikipage H1 header? (Currently that is hidden via .page-MediaWiki .firstHeading {display: none;} in MediaWiki:Gadget-site.css). If yes, then that will alter the design slightly, by placing the image slightly lower on the page (level with the top of the first paragraph).

Length: We might want to shorten the text of the header, as 95 characters is quite long. We almost certainly want to remove the fullstop.

If I do not use the .page-MediaWiki class (I think I don't) for that line which is currently a h2, would that work to get displayed? (It's maybe a bit too early for me to understand exactly what's the current situation, sorry.)

I'm not sure. I would guess it's automatically applied. Sorry :(

Ah. It's fine that the "Mediawiki" h1 line is hidden. Thanks for pointing out more implementation details to be aware of! :)
