Portal talk:Space

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A prototype Portal screen is being developed that will access the same header/footer boxes in Portal:Space/. Each section may be put in one of those boxes. Additional information should be planned out also. --Exodio 21:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge three into one

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed merger of multiple portals below. Please do not modify it.

Please, discuss the proposed merger of Portal:Spaceflight and Portal:Space exploration with this portal, here. In five days we will check for consensus (as suggested under WP:MM). Awolf002 11:46, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Support:

I guess this proposal is either uncontroversial, or nobody cares. I'll just do it, in that case, when the five days are up. Awolf002 11:14, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, i support the move. Mlm42 14:42, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Oppose:

The three portals all cover different aspects, so I would strongly oppose merger. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 21:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Comments:
- Doesn't look like a good consensus - even if you include the nominator, you only have a one vote majority. I would advise leaving it for now, and possibly proposing again in a few months. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 01:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

- Conclusion: There is no consensus to merge.

[edit] selected content

I was thinking of making the following boxes:

Selected article (weekly)
Selected mission (weekly)
Selected biography (weekly)
Selected anniversaties (daily)

how does that sound? As opposed to having a Selected picture, which most portals seem to have.. it seems that any really good space-related image would have an appropriate article attached to it, and most of these boxes would have an image attached to them anyway.

Alternatively, I was considering Selected spacecraft instead of Selected mission? but i think mission is probably better. Mlm42 08:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] merger?

although the above "discussion" didn't reach a consensus, i went ahead and started merging content from other portals into this one anyway.. i think the tabs idea is a handy one. Mlm42 16:55, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Merging content is different from merging the portals. You can add anything to this portal you deem relevant, but we cannot redirect or change the portals that were candidate for merge in the above discussion. There is no censensus for the latter. This, in my opponion, includes Portal:Astronomy: You can add topics from Astronomy to this portal, but I object to changing the scope of the Astronomy portal or redirecting it to this one, as I said on other talk pages. Awolf002 17:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

but what if this portal were to include any content that is it Portal:Astronomy? then what's the harm in redirected the portal here? Mlm42 17:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree: this Portal:Space should mainly transclude content from other space-related portals. I've taken an experimental step at this with the launch info box, which is now transcluded from the equiavalent box in Portal:Spaceflight. Is this the right approach to take?
