Okay, now I'm seeing the whole picture. Given that information, I like this update even less now. The description on the old Special:Promote was a broader sell to get people to come to the wiki and is different than the description that is more detailed when they are on the wiki. I think these should remain separate. Having them both on the main page just won't fit. I also don't think the header with the wiki name should be included. Wikis have the logo and (usually) a welcome message with the wiki name in it as well. The repetition here is ridiculous.
