I realize this template probably began as nothing more than a jig for arranging the Main Page, but it really deserves to be a little more general purpose, considering its name. For starters, what says everyone to the addition of a default image to be shown when another isn't explicitly named? I think [[:File:Logo.png|Logo.png]] is an obvious choice and likewise, when another wiki page isn't explicitly targeted, it could default to the [[Main Page]] as a target, in keeping with its name. Certainly more could be done and I have further thoughts on the matter, but how about just those two refinements to start?

Hi @RogueScholar | |||
A good choice for the missing logo and agree to adding it. (Is there an instance of a missing logo?) As for the missing page default I would rather edit the page to remove the listing because redirecting a user to a completely different page may cause momentary confusion. (is there a page with missing links) | |||
What sort of changes would you make and how would it affect the existing layout? | |||
Thanks for your work here :) | |||

I realize this template probably began as nothing more than a jig for arranging the Main Page, but it really deserves to be a little more general purpose, considering its name.
