Mexico

I was just trying to add Portal:Mexico to the geography section but I must have altered the formatting or something because it wasn't coming out right. Maybe someone could help me out?--Rockero420 23:01, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I've added it for you. Please adjust the creation date and maintainers as appropriate. I suspect the problem you encountered was when you edited the section and found Preview was mucked up. Because the section is within a table, the rendering engine doesn't see the full table when you do the preview, so it can't render correctly. This is only a preview problem, because when you save the section the whole page is re-rendered.-gadfium 02:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, that's very helpful. I'm actually not sure who started it, but I'll see if I can't find out.--Rockero420 06:23, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Star Trek portal

I was trying to add the Star Trek portal, but also couldn't get the code right for some reason. I was going to place it under "Television" because Star Trek started out on TV.

Not sure why it didn't work for you, but it's added now. --Aude (talk | contribs) 18:03, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 18:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Battlestar Galactica

Also-- Portal:Battlestar Galactica is not listed. (It's not being maintained, though.) --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 18:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I added Portal:Battlestar Galactica. The reason I didn't think I was doing it right before was because "Show preview" doesn't render the tables correctly. --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 19:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Gravitation Portal

Portal:Gravitation is not listed. It is a subportal of Physics. --lenko 22:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Formatting

Who messed up with the formatting of the page? Can anyone fix it? I can't find the last good version. Afonso Silva 21:25, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

It's fixed now. --Aude (talk | contribs) 00:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

What is that extra column for? Afonso Silva 21:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I haven't had a propper chance to see how that came to be, but I'll get to it eventually. Hopefully someone else can find the problem first.--cj | talk 01:53, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Found and fixed the extra column problem. --Aude (talk | contribs) 02:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Zoroastrianism

Does the formatting on this page reflect a hierarchy of topics? Zoroastrianism should not belong or be a sub-category to Spirituality. It stands alone as a religion. Can I go ahead and change it? Shabdiz 09:59, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, I changed the alignment of Spirituality, which corrects the whole thing. I believe that the table is not well-formed. Can someone please comment on it? Thanks and Happy Holidays. Shabdiz 08:43, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

The TOC and section structure here matches Portal:List of portals. Indentations relate to items under the heading as a whole. Thus, Christianity is the only portal in it's section with subportals. Rfrisbie^talk 13:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting the formatting of the table. Shabdiz 07:53, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Two very vexing problems

Why are there two sets of the same directory on the project page - one more complete and on the top, the other in bigger type face and at the bottom? If the bottom one is kept for archival values, please, someone move it an archive.

The other problem is an inclusion of non-existing and deleted (perhaps) portals in the list. the Czech Republic portal may be a perfect example. Can't someone just remove them? Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 12:55, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

The first problem is fixed. Joe I 06:47, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Art & culture

The Art & culture section is not alphabetized correctly, but I'll let someone else handle this. It starts off A, B, C, then goes A, C, again... The entries need to be moved around to address this, and this might be an issue elsewhere as well. Cirt (talk) 03:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC).

Wikinews Importer Bot

Thanks to Misza13, the Wikinews Importer Bot now is available to automatically import certain dynamically-generated Wikinews pages into Wikipedia portals. See the pages that link to User:Wikinews Importer Bot for a growing list of examples. Check it out! RichardF (talk) 18:02, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

RTÉ

I've been trying to add the RTÉ portal to the list with little success. It seems every time I attemp to add it messes the rendering of other entries...?? howth575 (talk) 22:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

One edit to do

In the science and tecnology section :

Please make the X-ray Astronomy and Star under the Astronomy section. --Extra999 (Contact ^me) 09:56, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
