Help! Page formatting broken?

What the hell is happening here? Page formatting seems to be beaking after my edit... but I can't see anything wrong with it... help!

Right place for initial discussion of proposed new templates

Does the initial discussion of proposed new templates belong in Idea Lab or in Technical? Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 13:15, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

@Chatul, both would be good places. The Idea Lab is perhaps a more theoretical venue, if that helps. EpicPupper (talk) 23:52, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

@Mrfoogles and EEng: I agree that the image is a bit silly, but there's a long-standing tradition that being a bit silly in project space is acceptable, or at least tolerated, as long as it's not disruptive. Probably not worth edit-warring about. RoySmith (talk) 22:47, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Exactly. Maybe, Mrfoogles, when you have more than 267 edits total you'll understand better. EEng 23:29, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Ok, will stop messing with it. It does make it hard to figure out what the thing is talking about, though, like a bad cue. Not worth edit warring about. Mrfoogles (talk) 02:09, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

One function of humor is to exercise the faculty of figuring out what things are really talking about. EEng 02:15, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

@EEng, Mrfoogles, and RoySmith: After some consideration, I've removed the image, as an irrelevant distraction from a serious discussion. As I've discussed with EEng before, humor in its place is a very good thing, but a sense of occasion is also important, and not every conceivable visual homonym-based pun ought to be made. Newyorkbrad (talk) 03:21, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Minor and miner are not homonyms; they're homophones. And you a lawyer. Geesh! EEng 05:28, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

I would really appreciate it if we could put the village pump back.
