Portal:Mars

edit

Hi, I would like some new thoughts on this portal. I have developed it in the recent months so it updates every month. Particularily, I would like comments about the news section and the image section. Thanks for taking your time to review this! Shrewpelt (talk) 17:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Like the colors, for the news section try the WikiNews Importer Bot.
  1. All of the selected articles should be generally the same length.
  • Do you mean the length of the actual article, or the summary shown on the portal? Shrewpelt (talk) 14:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  1. It would be nice if all the selected images had credits.
  1. The DYKs are missing a May section.
  1. Lastly, the edit section in the box headers would look cleaner without the arrow, and maybe a lighter blue by a few shades. If was hard to read on the LCD but fine on the CRT.
  •  Not done I don't know how to do that. Could you direct me to a page that would tell how? Thanks, Shrewpelt (talk) 15:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Done I changed the code around, hope that's okay with you. Still same colors. §tepshep • ¡Talk to me! 16:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good job. §tepshep • ¡Talk to me! 23:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I doubt it's just me, but with Firefox 2 on MacOS X the boxes look off: the header bar is below the line of the top of the box, but the "edit" link at the right of the box doesn't line up with the box title (so it's half in and half out of the header bar). If you can't see what I'm seeing, let me know and I'll fiddle with it myself. Msanford  T  03:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I believe it's most common to put the Related Wikimedia, Related Portals, and Categories at the very bottom of the portal page. Not that not doing so is particularly problematic in itself, but people will probably expect to see it elsewhere. Others, feel free to give counter-opinions!

  • Also, on the visual side of things, it looks sort of crammed together. Maybe add a few pixels between the boxes. §tepshep • ¡Talk to me! 05:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  1. This page (Portal:Mars/Mars news archive) Isn't needed with the bot functioning as it stands. But that doesn't matter really, just a pointer. §tepshep • ¡Talk to me! 16:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am just using it as an archive for the news. Shrewpelt (talk) 22:40, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
