Fail. OK, then. However, I'm still having trouble with this concept: Wikia wants the content to load quicker, so you make part of the page an ugly facebook throbber for... ages if you have slow internet, I presume? I find this sudden interest in the content loading quickly strange. Due to all the icons, Wikia is one of the slowest loading (MediaWiki) sites out there. Does this quick fix update make that much of a difference?

I do note that the rail takes ~300 milliseconds to load in its separate HTTP request. And I must admit, it's easy for some one blessed with fast internet to be skeptical. ;)
