How to edit days

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

09-Jan-2008: The edit-buttons don't work at each day (the highly complex, peculiar article format has been garbled). However, each day really is a WP article of the form:

Portal:Current events/2005_October_1

Refer to each day, using those article names. I didn't create this design, just trying to help others work around it. -Wikid77 (talk) 14:47, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Format

09-Jan-2008: The format of this article had been a tall column wrapped as 8 words-per-line, but was changed 09Jan08 to wrap as 16 words-per-line (at 800x600 resolution screen size), reducing page length by 40% (making page seem half as long). The coding to shorten page:

  ==[[Portal:Current events]]==
  {| align=right style="background-color:transparent"
       cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0
  | style="width:250px"|
  {{Portal:Current events/October 2005/Calendar}}
  {{Portal:Current events/October 2005/Sidebar}}
  |}
  {{Portal:Current events/Month Inclusion|2005 October}}
  {{Portal:Current events/Events by month}}

The month September_2005 was the 1st widened to shorten the page. The page can be narrowed for each user by changing the width of their browser windows. -Wikid77 (talk) 14:47, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
