Wesborland (talk • contribs) Absolutely. This helps to improve the content and the quality of the portals. Michaelas10 (talk • contribs) I would love to volunteer, I've been recently going through portals to find better designs and positions, and I will have no trouble reviewing one. riana_dzasta (talk • contribs) Sure, why not? :) Always glad to help. Gphoto (talk • contribs) (Inactive) Badbilltucker (talk • contribs) Portals are of vital importance to wikipedia: my opinions of them, happily, significantly less so, but will be willing to help look over new candidates. Nishkid64 (talk • contribs) I <3 portals! Arjun01 (talk • contribs) What Nish said! I will love to help. Sd31415 (talk • contribs): This is a great idea! Searchme (talk • contribs) Hit me up. Shyam Bihari (talk • contribs) I will be happy to do any help for that. Wilsbadkarma (talk • contribs) This is a really good idea. Hossen27 (talk • contribs) Have become a portal junkie so why not Richiar (talk • contribs) Count me in. I have trouble understanding them, so surly I can review them! Sbandrews (talk • contribs) Beam me up ;-)

[edit] Shortcut

Isn't a more appropriate shortcut WP:PORPR or WP:PORTPR? WP:PPR, what one would expect, goes to the picture peer review, and the difference between that and this is picture/portal, not peer review. Sorry, I know this is so trivial compared to what I could be doing with my time on Wikipedia, but I just thought I'd mention it. Nice idea, by the way. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 07:10, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

This shortcut is similar to the featured portal candidate's shortcut, WP:FPCAN, in that it uses the first three letters of the last word. —S.D. ¿п? 11:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay then. Whatever suits it best. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 03:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Random subpage template

This request for peer review isn't about a portal, per se, but about a template that can be used in portals, {{Random subpage}}. It's designed for sections like "Did you know..." that include a list of items that can be rotated. The template can be used for a type of "randomized block design" – single items from blocks (consecutively numbered groups) of subpages can be selected to build lists with a specific number of items, one for each template entry. The template works by selecting a numbered subpage from a range of subpages whose "start"ing and "end"ing members can be specified. Using multiple copies of the template with non-overlapping start and end subpage values allows for the random display of an unduplicated list. An example of implementing this list rotation method is at Portal:Religion/Did you know. Your comments on how this works, or more examples of its use would be greatly appreciated.

It's currently being used at the West Bengal portal's Did you know... section and its working great! Thanks for the template, Rfrisbie. Happy editing, S.D. ¿п? § 04:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Cool. I see you have another one in the works as well...with more to come I'm sure. :-) Rfrisbie 05:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
