Template-protected edit request on 10 March 2016

Is it possible to please add File:TNCPortal.pdf for the Portal: Transnational child protection? Thank you in advance! Hipersons (talk) 15:43, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

 Not done @Hipersons: This image isn't at all clear at the small size used by the {{portal}} template. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:18, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

@John of Reading: Okay thanks so much, I've added it to our to-do list to improve it and get back with a better one.

Hi there @John of Reading:, back with hopefully a better one. Will this work?

 Done That's much better. -- John of Reading (talk) 19:03, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Portal: Transnational child protection

• Hi the previous requested image for Portal: Transnational child protection (see previous request above) has been deleted:

File:Child Protection Portal Logo.png was deleted from commons on the 13 March 2016 as cpy vio

and File:TNCPortal.pdf is nominated for deletion

I looked for an alternative and can't find any, so unless Hipersons can suggest another non cpy vio image it should just be removed for now and use the default until one can be sourced. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 12:08, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi John of Reading. Agreed. If you can find a better one, please pop it in there.

In future Checkingfax, could you be a little more specific in your requests. As an editor unfamiliar with the template(s) and modules involved, this took some hunting on my part. I think it fair to assume that not every editor knows every subject like the back of their hand. fredgandt 04:11, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Fred_Gandt. Thank you for your effort to perform my edit request. I really appreciate it.

I try not to clutter my requests as I do not want any comments to be taken as part of the edit request.

I apologize for making you work extra hard to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Next time I will put the request in a better change-X to-Y format.

Can you please share with me your exact difficulties so I may better prepare my next request? Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 07:32, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

I was simply unfamiliar with where the change needed to be made, and so had to go hunting. Sure, if an editor already knows the structure, it's obvious, but if they don't it requires a massive amount of effort

All requests should (IMO) be written as if for editors who are unfamiliar. fredgandt 11:53, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

@Checkingfax: - it occurred to me that the target page might be correctly linked in the request template, so I came to check if it was - and it was (thanks) - so that's my bad (oops). However though, I do still stand by my preference as a responder that it's not assumed that I instinctively know what the requester wants me to do with the dumped code. fredgandt 00:15, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Fred_Gandt. You got it. No more code dumping. X to Y going forward. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 02:14, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Listified

I've made a more accessible version of this module at Module:Portal/sandbox (rev 727451765) (diff) (testcases).

Changing the layout table to a navigation region and list should be unnoticeable to most sighted users. Screen readers will navigate the template as a region/landmark/list instead of a table. Screen readers will also have more descriptive announcements for the beginning and end. Instead of (JAWS example) "Table with two columns and N rows, ..., table end", it will announce "Portals navigation region, list of N items, ..., list end, portals navigation region end". I'm not a fan of display: table, but in this case it worked like a charm, and I had trouble getting good results any other way. Works in IE8, IE7 falls back to a plain list with each icon and link pair side by side.

Does this look and sound okay to everyone? Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 03:21, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Minimized alt text

The images in this template are decorative images. They convey information, but that information is repeated by adjacent text (the text link). For that reason, I propose minimizing the alt attributes on these images.

Public domain, CC0, CC-SA, {{copyrighted free use}}, and WTFPL images

Attribution is not required. Suppress the link to the image, and provide null alt text.

All other images, mostly CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, GFDL, {{attribution}}

Attribution is required. Retain link, but reduce alt text to "icon", or a minimal description like "ball". The word "portal" in "portal icon" repeats adjacent text.

The 29 June version of Module:Portal/sandbox, Module:Portal/images/a/sandbox etc., and Template:Portal/testcases show what this would look like using alt text "icon". I still need to go through and double-check licensing though. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 21:16, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Image license double-checking here (large page): User:Matt Fitzpatrick/portal images. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 00:26, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

@Matt Fitzpatrick: I happened to see this above when the request below lighted up. If you're requesting an edit, use {{Edit template-protected|answered=no}} for more visibility. As for implementing this, perhaps you can submit a request for some visibility, and if there are no further comments, we can sync it. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 01:49, 4 July 2016 (UTC) 01:57, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

@Andy M. Wang: Thanks, I'm just being super cautious. I'll put up an edit request once I get that giant portal image table done, and double-check the licenses (and make it easy for everyone else to check them too). Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 02:04, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

These are used on a lot of pages, so I combined the list changes from the other talk page section, with the reduced alt text changes. Template:Portal-inline is the only fully protected page on this list, the rest are template-editor protected.

Image edit request on 15 July 2016

The current "image" (logo) of the Portal:2010s is the following: File:Samsung Galaxy S5 Vector.svg. This image shows up in various of the English Wikipedia's pages, such as listed under the "file usage" of that image. For example, it shows up on pages of globally-known football events, by which many phone producers would be loved to link (or advertise) with. At the same time, it also shows at the page about terrorists rampages such as 2016 attack in Nice, under "See also": this 'branding' (even if not initiated by the company which produces those phones) may seem inappropriate to some people reading about shocking events. On the other hand, phone producers might not want to be associated with such terrorist events. Further more, the image had been an icon of a phone of a competitor (Apple) before (see [Image edit request (13 March 2014)]. This can hint at a market war going on (even if only hypothetically). I propose that a new icon should be created and/or chosen which doesn't directly relate to a brand or a commercial product. Anybody up for the challenge?

Linguistics portal image

I'm wondering if the image for the linguistics portal could be changed to Globe of letters.svg. Although it is less than ideal that the language portal uses the same image, it's impossible to make out what the current image is at that small size. Graham (talk) 00:37, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

It looks like you're requesting a change to Module:Portal/images/l. Although I'm marking this Not done for now. Do you have awareness and consensus among Wikipedia:WikiProject Linguistics participants? Re-open if it's sure that the WikiProject is aware of this proposed image change. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 00:55, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Note, if the change proceeds, the image at Template:WikiProject Linguistics may be considered for updating as well. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 00:59, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict) @Andy M. Wang: While I don't believe prior approval is required from WikiProject Linguistics – the WikiProject does not "own" the portal and see no reason why WP:BRD could not be applied here – I can certainly place a notice on the WikiProject talk page. Graham (talk) 01:04, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

@Graham11: The portal template is highly visible and highly-transcluded, so many changes to such a heavy page is generally not encouraged, and I think WP:BRD cannot reasonably apply here to this template. (sure, there's WP:PERF, but it's best if the change is reasonably unopposed.) Can you re-open this request in half a week or so after your posted notice? Hope that's sensible, thanks. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 01:09, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

@Andy M. Wang: Yeah, I was thinking that performance could be the only other objection, and WP:PERF is pretty well established, hence why I thought your request to be a bit odd. And WP:HRT (which you cited) is pretty clear about the rationale for the protection of high-risk templates and it definitely isn't done to encourage broad consultation with WikiProjects. But nonetheless, I've placed the requested notice. Graham (talk) 01:33, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

@Graham11: I really don't mean to come off as pushing back here, but it's worth a discussion. Another editor could have rapidly closed this as "Not done" and not having consensus without offering a suggestion. I thought the WikiProject could bring more visibility. The current image of the portal has been in place since at least 2013, and I couldn't look back further because of a deleted page. Note: the submodule has 280000+ transclusions (template has 6 million+) means that there will be server strain every time it's updated. There are some folks who object to quick reversions of templates with only a thousand transclusions. It's best if we can make one change that is reasonably unopposed rather than two or three. I sincerely hope this has been reasonable to you. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 02:15, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

@Andy M. Wang: Might I suggest the Wug? Though its original depiction is fair use, I'm a bit skeptical that something that's essentially the mirrored, flattened top half of a rest symbol with legs can be copyrighted... →Σσς. (Sigma) 03:07, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@Σ: I mean, that sounds okay as long as folks who have stake in the portal are reasonably aware of the image change in any case, I'd say. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 16:45, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Between the globe of letters and the parse tree, I'd go with the globe of letters. But before we go any further, I'll draw a wug and see what the editors at Commons have to say about it. →Σσς. (Sigma) 01:50, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello! Can you please change Flag of Kosovo.svg with Kosovo_stub.svg in Kosovo, as per agreement.

To editors Andy W. and Axiomus: So at this point it really could be either image that involved editors want, and having searched for a discussion without finding one, the answer must be:

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. (or show where a consensus has already been garnered)

 Paine  ^u/c 18:11, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Well, first of all, we should restore version that was there before someone asked to change it. We actually needed consensus to change that, and not to restore it now, so please, lets do that. I have found this consensus where several editors agreed to use this as neutral and proper solution. I dont see any consensus to change that with a flag that may be disputed. So, please, restore established version that was here for years without any disruptions. pinging Andy M. Wang and Paine Ellsworth --Axiomus (talk) 11:49, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

I see your point, and you are indeed correct. The way consensus works on Wikipedia is a little different from the way it works other places. Sometimes just one editor who makes an edit is considered a consensus as long as the edit goes unchallenged. We appear to have a clear case here of an editor who, through the edit request system, made an edit to a long-standing image and consensus. Since over time, consensus does change, we had to at first agree to 1) make the edit, and 2) uphold the new consensus; however, since the edit is challenged, then we must proceed with Wikipedia's definition of consensus and what to do in such cases as this. What should happen is that the image you have suggested should be restored as the status quo image installed by previous consensus, and then the editor who requested the change of image in July will be expected to either garner a consensus for that change, or to let it go. Thank you for your persistence, Axiomus! and your edit request will be:

"alt=" is okay on an unlinked decorative image. On a linked image, though, this creates an empty link that may not make sense to visually impaired users. It should have some kind of alt text, such as "alt=icon". Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 21:22, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Bug in image function

See also: Template talk:Portal/Archive 5 § Image function of Module:Portal

There was some extended discussion last year between SiBr4 and Mr. Stradivarius about fixing the function which retrieves the image name of portal. Ultimately this didn't lead anywhere and we still have the same bug. Could SiBr4's proposed fix be implemented please? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:57, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

@Mr. Stradivarius: The fix proposed in the archived discussion is thorough but would be a lot of work to implement. Wouldn't it be simpler to keep the data structures as they are, and for the image function to chop the image name at the first pipe character? -- John of Reading (talk) 14:18, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

@MSGJ and John of Reading: I've implemented a quick hack to trim everything after the first pipe from the p._image function. This is an ugly fix, though, and I should really come back through and rewrite the whole module in a cleaner style. I was a lot less experienced when I first wrote it, and it shows. The subsequent incremental alterations haven't done it any favours either. But for now, it will do, I suppose. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 15:03, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Change image for Portal:Hinduism

Suggest a change from File:Om.svg to File:Om symbol.svg. The is cleaner, closer to the more common representation than the current one which was apparently added and the image uploaded a few months ago (sorry I missed the change/addition). Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 02:26, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

I should have included support. To verify: please see page 25 (Yoga Journal, 1997); Image 1; Image 2 (sorry this one is folded, but you can make out the outline), etc. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 02:57, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Disabling the editprotected request for now, pending some consensus discussion. I have two observations: There's a major color shift, toward garish, so it might be better to produce a derivative version of the second image that uses something closer to the darker, less neon color of the first. Secondly, a vertically reversed brush stroke (on the right) is simulated in the second image; I would think native speakers of Indo-Aryan languages that use this writing system should have some input as to how this character is normally written (I'm a linguist and anthropologist by training, and skeptical that there's a universal "rule" for that, but one way may be much more common and recognisable). The three images provided seem to indicate a downward not upward stroke, but none of them are reliable sources.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  06:26, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

@SMcCandlish: You spotted the reason this caught my attention... downward or upward stroke. Downward, it should be. See Fowler. She has a whole chapter 8 devoted to Hinduism symbols, and she covers Om with a drawing. Downward it is in her book. Clockwise does have significance in old Hindu Sanskrit text, in symbols and in Hindu temples. You are right though about 'universal rule'. In this era of easy copy-paste, with or without creative commons, we can find websites etc using one or the other. But, indeed, WP:RS is where we should look. Fowler should be easy to verify, because google books displays the Om image drawing on page 61 (if not, I will be happy to photocopy and email you part of that page under fair use). Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 12:21, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

On color, I am checking, BTW. I will try to upload a few new versions of the image, later this week. Thanks, Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 12:42, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

I'm sure others will make use of them, especially if you upload them to Commons. I imagine this version would be popular, for its nicer shape, if available in a range of hues. Anyway, for whoever getd around to updating the image in the Portal template module (assuming there are no objections), it is line ["hinduism"] = "Om.svg|link=|alt=", in Module:Portal/images/h.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  17:56, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

File:Aum Om red.svg seems to be close to the original (i.e., is the most minimal change), and is not so dark that darker monitor profiles with make it seem purplish or brown, nor washed out or garish on lighter ones (just tested), so it seems like a good bet.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  09:42, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Internet (which I am sure is responsible for much of the maintenance of the portal) has this image now.

Speculative fiction - Different portal image

I think that Speculative Fiction portal should use File:Speculative fiction portal logo small transparent.png instead of the Dragon. --Omer Toledano (talk) 07:16, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm not convinced; I don't think the new image works at this small size. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:29, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Can someone please change the image in the Biotechnology Portal box from its current image to File:TRNA-Phe yeast 1ehz.png? This is because the current image has been superseded by the image file that I am proposing. Thank you. LightandDark2000 (talk) 04:00, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Adding an icon to portal?

Hello, I'm new to Portals and have created two, but am unable to figure out how to assign an icon/image for portal links. Could anyone instruct me how to do this? --Drown Soda (talk) 21:02, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

@Drown Soda: Post again here with links to the portals and the images, and I will make the edits for you. If you add the {{edit template-protected}} template then it may happen sooner, as more editors will see the request. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:07, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@John of Reading:, I've created two portals (Portal:American Old West, and Portal:Fordham University). For the former, I was thinking this as an icon: , and this: for the latter. Thank you for your help --Drown Soda (talk) 07:27, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@Tigerson1995: From your recent contributions I guess you're asking about a new image for Portal:Commonwealth Games. What image do you have in mind? Remember that we can't use non-free images for decoration, and that the image has to be clear at this tiny size. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:04, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Image for Portal:Mass surveillance

The portal on mass surveillance has no image in portal bars. I would suggest File:Stylized eye.svg (as in Template:Global surveillance).

Any other suggestion is welcome. Thanks for your contribution.

Theresa Todler (talk) 15:35, 2 May 2017 (UTC).

@Theresa Todler: I've added a couple of other suggestions, perhaps clearer at this small size. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:30, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. I would still chose the stylised eye as I do not think that the camera is a good representation of mass internet surveillance. Any other opinion is welcome. Theresa Todler (talk) 07:32, 5 May 2017 (UTC).

Layout issues

Hello. There may be layout issues using this template when placed in its recommended See also section and the References section immediately follows. It may need an implicit {{clear}} or equivalent. An example is at the Anna Nicole Smith article. I have posted a message about it at the article's talk page here when my explicit {{clear}} addition was reverted. When the width resolution is about 1024 or less, the box interferes with the references layout below.
1024 is a very common and convenient resolution for reading, versus a full-width window, a resolution that is also mentioned in the Manual of Style (although in the section about images, WP:LAYIM). Although wider monitors are common, reading paragraphs extending horizontally forever is inconvenient; narrower windows also allow to work using multiple documents at a time, each in its own window/column.
In this example article, the references start being able to display properly when at a resolution width of about 1236 and over. It is unclear to me yet if it would be best to modify {{reflist}} instead, but so far when I notice this a portal template is involved. Thanks, — PaleoNeonate — 01:18, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

I obtained a satisfactory answer to my questions at the reflist template talk page. Thanks, — PaleoNeonate — 02:05, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Trump Portal Image

Hi, File:Donald Trump official portrait (cropped).jpg has been deleted by commons 03:40, 6 June 2017, so I would suggest replacing with File:Donald Trump Pentagon 2017.jpg or File:Donald Trump official portrait colorized and cropped.jpg - Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 12:53, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

@KylieTastic: I've used the first one, which I think is slightly more recognisable at this small size. -- John of Reading (talk) 13:21, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

• Great. "Aboriginal" is deprecated in Canada and really everything that uses it should be moved or renamed, save for proper nouns -- but even Aboriginal Peoples Television Network is now shying away from using its full name. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:51, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, can you change "women's association football" to File:Football féminin icon-fr.svg? Thanks! --NaBUru38 (talk) 16:31, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

The current icon was chosen in 2013 by Hmlarson (talk · contribs). I'll wait 24 hours to see if Hmlarson has any opinion on it. I think the new icon is clearer. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:43, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

NaBUru38 - What is your rationale for the change? I'm not aware of you being active in this topic on wikipedia (cc: John of Reading) I personally don't like the pink icon. Hmlarson (talk) 18:19, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

 Not done @NaBUru38: Since this needs a discussion, I've disabled the edit request. I suggest you post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women's sport so that the editors most interested in the subject can discuss it there. (Pinging Hmlarson also). -- John of Reading (talk) 19:35, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
