[edit] Portal:Italian Wars

This is the first portal I've actually finished with in quite some time. It includes five sections of rotating content (all using random rotation), and the more-or-less-standard non-rotating sections. I look forward to all comments! Kirill Lokshin 04:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• The bottom part of the portal is messed up. The "What are portals?" "List of Portals", related portals and so on have bunched themselves up in a corner down at the bottom of the page. Also, the Wikimedia box is empty except for the image link, which looks kind of odd. Fix this and the portal will be much better. --Gphoto^talk 17:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Hmm, that's really weird. I don't see any bunching up; as far as I can tell, they're floating at the bottom of the outer box. Are you using any unusual browser or resolution?
  • I'll see if I can figure out a better place to put the Commons link. Kirill Lokshin 17:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
    • What's happening is that the box that is supposed to have all the wikimedia stuff in it is not holding anything but the image link. My browser is Safari, and I am not operating under any unusual conditions, so I don't think that it's my browser. Hope this helps! --Gphoto^talk 17:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
      • Yep, that was the intended effect; there aren't any other Wikimedia links worth providing. In any case, I've combined the Wikimedia link and the related portals into a "Related content" box at the bottom; hopefully that clears up whatever the formatting problem with the portals was.

        • Support Yep, that fixed everything. The only thing is that the borders around the boxes are not contrasting enough for me, but that is a matter of personal preference and I'll let it go. Regards, --Gphoto^talk 17:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Support - seems to meet all of the criteria. And I didn't know Kirill made portals, too. Good work. :) Badbilltucker 14:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Portal:War is the only one I've really worked on from start to finish; I've created a couple of others, but they're maintained by other editors now. Kirill Lokshin 16:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• Support. Clean, attractive, and informative. The left column of boxes is longer than the right column, which creates a large white space on the right, but I suppose that varies as the content rotates. Not a big deal, but perhaps the "selected biography" box could be two columns wide in order to fill in some of the space. —Kevin 13:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • It's a content rotation issue. Since the content is refreshed at random, there's really no way to predict which column will be longer at any given time. Kirill Lokshin 14:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Support Nice job. TomStar81 (Talk) 05:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
