The logo shouldn't link anywhere. Right now, it just acts like a refresh button, which is completely stupid. Instead, it should just do nothing when clicked. Just use {{`|<nowiki>[[Image:RobloxWikiHeader.png|center|500px|link=]]</nowiki>}} to show the header, and leave the link argument empty, and it won't link anywhere. <div style="border-top:1px dotted #AAA;color:#AAA;padding-bottom:.5em;height:1em;overflow:hidden"><div style="font-size:75%;line-height:inherit;float:left">[[User:JulienDethurens|JulienDethurens]]&nbsp;</div><div style="font-size:75%;line-height:inherit;float:right">28 January 2012</div></div>

The "ROBLOX HQ" link should be renamed to "ROBLOX Staff", which would make more sense.

I think we should remove the header from the emphasis box. It looks ugly to me, and anyways, why would we create a box just to put a picture? Do you think we should remove it from the box or just leave it there? --[[User:JulienDethurens|JulienDethurens]] 18:04, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Very little detail, but in my opinion ''Make your maps do crazy things.'' should be replaced with ''Make your places do crazy things.''. "Maps" is just not globally used to identify places. --[[User:Dennisvdz|Dennisvdz]] 11:17, 3 April 2012 (EDT)
