[edit] Space exploration
I would like to get input on any useful expansion to the various sections in this portal, as well as comments on whether to use a single page or the proposed "tabbed" page approach. This portal does not have many contributors, so good ideas are very welcome! Awolf002 01:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I have went through and found an few issues.
- The lead needs to be longer and should sum up the entire portal.
- The picture of the week needs image credits below the picture.
- In article of the month the subject of the article should be a bold link to the articles page not just bold.
- Biography of the week has the same problem as the article and needs a bold link.
- Since you don't have rotating content you seem to have a permanent hole on the bottom left hand side I would recommend moving something from the right over.
- Most of the links to your Associated Wikimedia don't go anywhere the either need to be corrected or removed.
- You don't seem to have a topics section, that is definitely something I recommend you add.
- The categories section needs some expansion.
These are just some initial thoughts I'll read through and let you know of anything else.— WilsBadKarma (Talk) 04:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for these great recommendations! I will work on these, today. Awolf002 12:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey, here's a few more:
- Definite intro expansion.
- The footers in rotated content boxes should be the same. Example, "Read More" in article box, not in any other.
- I would recommend having less news stories(4-5), with a short summary instead of just a link. Although what you have now should work, just personal preference.
- Did you know should be shortened to the last 4-5, and add an archive.
- Categories should be expanded.
- No topics box at all.
- Use <div style="text-align:center; margin:-7px; padding-bottom:12px;">{{purge|'''Show new selections'''}} above rotated content.
As for tabbed pages, I would recommend only if you can fill such pages. Actually I think you could. Do like things you can do, and wikiprojects on one. Maybe can have News and did you know on another. I think theres enough for tabs, but you don't have em, if you do the main page right. Joe I 20:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
