Busy few days, so this slipped under the radar. Let's start to wrap all this up:

Everyone seems to really like everything except for ditching the side rail (Feature #3); we're pretty split on that. So, for the time being, I'd say we should look to implement everything but Feature #3.

The pop-up box for reference tags (Feature #5) is already live. I'm not sure if Nathan worked some magic, or if the cache just took a while to cycle through, but the pop-up box now works with both the standard Wikia tags as well as our own tag.

Feature #2 has already been entered into the .css files, but for some reason it isn't taking to the site. That will have to be looked at. When that gets running, then we can look at what color code needs to be applied to that.

The Mature Content Screen (Feature #7): Just to clear up some misconceptions. The screen will not in anyway block access to a page based on age. As far as I know, Wikia collects no age information when creating an account; even if it does, there's no real way to view it on a user's profile. This screen will only function like the Spoiler Screen. It will pop up for first time visitors to that particular page, and will tell them of the mature content ahead. They will have to active click that they wish to proceed to the page if they wish to view it.

Kevin, to specifically answer some of your questions that were not covered in the above paragraphs:
 * Feature #1 checks contributions only. If an account has not made an edit of any kind in 3 months (I think the time period is customizable, but don't quote me on it) then the account has an inactive tag placed on it. It should automatically disappear when an edit is made.
 * Feature #5 pulls all info from whatever is inside the reference tags. It makes no difference on load times, as they aren't visible until you mouse over them, and disappear once you mouse off the link. And they simply appear like they would on Wikipedia; no customization available.
 * Feature #6...I have no idea. Experimentation will need to be done.

So. Does anyone else have anything to add? I for one am a little excited to add some of this new stuff.
