I rather like that template as well. Provided it takes little effort
to change it in while retaining the contents of the wiki, I can't see
why anyone would object at the very least updating the look of the
existing wiki.

I think the question is how much extra effort does it take to make the
main pages visually appealing within the confines of the wiki system?
