Here I have listed improvement propositions I believe will improve the over all look and feel of the Wiki.

If a proposition is accepted and the work required for the change has been done I will cross it off this list.

Article renaming
This discussion currently is ongoing on the suggestions page. Some of these articles would be better suited to have "Guide" as the sub-article.

Articles with "Configuration" in their titles
GNOME/Configuration → GNOME/Guide

Xorg/Configuration → Xorg/Guide

Articles with "HOWTO" in their titles
Bugzilla_HOWTO → Bugzilla/Guide

Conky/HOWTO → Conky/Guide

Hardened/HOWTO_locate_and_fix_textrels → Hardened/Textrels Guide

LiveUSB/HOWTO → LiveUSB/Guide

Localization/HOWTO → Localization/Guide

Nagios/HOWTO → Nagios/Guide

Openbox/HOWTO → Openbox/Guide

Project:Translation/Translation_HOWTO →Project:Translation/Guide

Samba4 Migrating/HOWTO → Still thinking about this one.

Samba_AD_Centralized_authentication/HOWTO (empty, should be deleted)

Centralized authentication with Samba AD /HOWTO → It seems like this article needs a rename...

Xfce/HOWTO → Xfce/Guide

Zsh/HOWTO → Zsh/Guide

 * It is the opposite of the red Warning template; users understand green is associated with "go" or "good" especially when red means "stop" or "bad" and yellow means "caution: important!".

Maybe some new templates could look something like this in span for:
