Gentlemen

We have come thus far; the front page is looking splendid.

I agree, though I have two gripes with it.
1) Who typed "Valve" like this for the main page links?

It should be "Valve". The uppercase version with the smaller sized "E" is just a logo, nothing more. I see things like "VALVe" and such being written entirely too often elsewhere.
2) The yellow tint color for the background of the box tables looks strange. Yellow, no matter how desaturated, isn't really in the color scheme of Portal (ignoring instances such as the yellow portal for the co-op partner and other instances). Overall it's grays, blues, blacks. Clean colors. With the overuse of the blue elements on the Wiki's theme (the logo the links etc), yellow looks out of place. -- Benjamoose Om nom nom!

Tried to address the colors; I'm no expert designer, so please feel free to tweak them further. I do believe it's an improvement though :3 For further reference, not all colors are on MediaWiki:Common.css; some are in style attributes on {{Main Page layout}} and {{ExtendedIndex}}.
