Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Not longest?

As suggested by User:2400:1A00:B010:9C73:64F6:E6D5:ACFD:18FD, this may be the (emphasis mine) "second longest suspended pedestrian bridge in the world following Baglung-Kushma suspension bridge (576m) in Nepal". Wikipedia article about the latter bridge is Baglung Parbat Footbridge. --143.176.30.65 (talk) 09:48, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The difference between the two appears to be that one is a simple suspension bridge while the other is a suspension bridge. The former is without towers or piers (pillars). The former has the deck on two parallel load-bearing cables, while the latter is hung below suspension cables. --143.176.30.65 (talk) 10:06, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. Both are pedestrian bridges. The only difference is that one is a "simple suspension bridge" while the other is a "suspended-deck suspension bridge". The confusion arises from the suspension bridge article describing just the suspended-deck type, and editors apparently refusing to move the article to make this clear to readers. So, indeed, CNN and all other media are most likely lying. --143.176.30.65 (talk) 15:16, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is NOT "the longest suspended pedestrian bridge in the world" no matter how you parse it and trying to make the distinction to make it be the longest is nonsense because each and every bridge can be the "longest in the world" if we add a suitable additional requirement. 31.4.136.48 (talk) 13:21, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Correct this please, Arouca 516 is not the longgest suspension bridge in the world, specifications and construction details should not be taken into account, a suspension bridge covers all suspension subtypes. source^[1]DiogoBaptista (talk) 17:46, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- I now understand why 143.176.30.65 was trying to edit Baglung Parbat Footbridge multiple times over a single word. Its surprising even CNN is making news without a simple research. Funny. nirmal (talk) 09:18, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
