Be sure not to break them. * We strongly recommend you do not change the <mainpage-rightcolumn-start /> style tags - these keep your page format safe from unexpected breaks - the right column is first, followed by the left column. Please note that Wikia protection policy advises against the protection of this page unless it is the active target of vandalism. * Protecting the main page can do more harm than good, for example by preventing links being added. * See http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Protection for more info. ------------------------------------------- The main page design code follows.
