Related Portals

Why is South Carolina listed as a related portal instead of Alabama? It would make more sense to put Alabama since Florida shares a border with it and not with South Carolina. DavidMann (talk) 15:19, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notice from the Portals WikiProject

WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:30, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why the background of this portal is clear green?

The majority of colors on the state flag is red and white, not clear green, and the green represented on the flag is darker, the right thing would be to highlight the predominant colors in the foreground and then the other colors, why the majority background of this portal is clean green?--ProntComando (talk) 17:45, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@ProntComando: I have been wondering this as well. I'm currently looking at updated code for Portals and implementing it on here. The colors definitely need to be fixed. – TheGridExe (talk) 14:06, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note, it is one line to change "|titlebackground=" in Portal:Florida/box-header. @ProntComando: any suggestions? — xaosflux ^Talk 14:40, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like I beat you to it unintentionally. I tested a red color that probably needs to be a bit darker. @Xaosflux: – TheGridExe (talk) 15:09, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- I am interested in doing the same kind of update to Portal:Law, and was thinking that we might spare some effort by finding a topic or two that merits coverage under both portals. bd2412 T 12:42, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I am going to spend a few days working on Seminole Tribe of Florida v. Florida. If I can get it moved up a few notches in class, I think it would be a great topic for both portals. bd2412 T 04:03, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
