 * 1) I originally intended to have it so that the top border of the dropdown menu would be black like the rest of the border. Since the navigation bar is also blue and about the same height, it looked unbalanced with the lack of a white border, which is why it is the way it is.
 * 2) I am actually up to the polls in terms of the CSS, so will be working at fixing any issues very soon.
 * No, it seems not. The presence of text is completely independent of the HTML, so I cannot make any distinctions using selectors in the CSS. The underlying issue is that padding must be used specifically because captions can exceed one line, meaning that line height cannot alone be used to determine the height of background. Padding is present whether or not text is included, while for line height this is not the case. Your query has just given me the idea to limit Template:Image captions to one line, which might be able to solve this. I'll see what I can do.
 * 1) I was once very particular about capital letter usage and used to make sure they were frequently implemented wherever they were contextually fitting. I may have seen that every heading on the wiki received this treatment as that is a proper grammatical convention. But love for capitals isn't widespread. People don't care to remember. Additionally, Wikipedia is an influence that saw me reducing emphasis as itself does not capitalise each word in headings. Capitals for all letters is only really used for article titles, although exceptions apply, such as in the cases of statements or questions rather than names. Otherwise, all headings, table header text, subtitles etc. should use capitals sparingly. 'gone dashin'' is one of these instances. The logic is that capitalising it detracts from the subject focus, the username above it. This is similar to the Recent Wiki Activity module where the timestamps are all in lowercase.


 * Fun fact: Headers and headings are different things. A header is a designation of content, preceding a content body, while a heading distinguishes sections within the content body.
 * Fun fact: Article titles are top level headings (h1), there being only one that, as you would expect, titles the article. Titles are contained within a header, along with subtitles that can serve various purposes such as providing brief information or functioning as navigation links. Subheadings are different again, being lower level headings within sections already divided by headings.

And, a reminder to check on that template issue I've posed.
