Space exploration[edit]

I would like to get input on any useful expansion to the various sections in this portal, as well as comments on whether to use a single page or the proposed "tabbed" page approach. This portal does not have many contributors, so good ideas are very welcome! Awolf002 01:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have went through and found an few issues.

The lead needs to be longer and should sum up the entire portal.
The picture of the week needs image credits below the picture.
In article of the month the subject of the article should be a bold link to the articles page not just bold.
Biography of the week has the same problem as the article and needs a bold link.
Since you don't have rotating content you seem to have a permanent hole on the bottom left hand side I would recommend moving something from the right over.
Most of the links to your Associated Wikimedia don't go anywhere the either need to be corrected or removed.
You don't seem to have a topics section, that is definitely something I recommend you add.
The categories section needs some expansion.

These are just some initial thoughts I'll read through and let you know of anything else.— WilsBadKarma ^(Talk) 04:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for these great recommendations! I will work on these, today. Awolf002 12:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, here's a few more:

Definite intro expansion.
The footers in rotated content boxes should be the same. Example, "Read More" in article box, not in any other.
I would recommend having less news stories(4-5), with a short summary instead of just a link. Although what you have now should work, just personal preference.
Did you know should be shortened to the last 4-5, and add an archive.
Categories should be expanded.
No topics box at all.
Use <div style="text-align:center; margin:-7px; padding-bottom:12px;">{{purge|'''Show new selections'''}} above rotated content.

As for tabbed pages, I would recommend only if you can fill such pages. Actually I think you could. Do like things you can do, and wikiprojects on one. Maybe can have News and did you know on another. I think theres enough for tabs, but you don't have em, if you do the main page right. Jo e I 20:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Jo! I was on a bit of a break in the last weeks. Now is the time to put all these great suggestion into the TODO list and work on them. You all are a great help! Awolf002 02:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
