[edit] Religion

Yeah, I know a lot of work needs to be done with this before it ever achieves Featured status. Having said that, lemme know what specifics come to mind, other than regular rotation of content. I know that has to be done, and I'm hoping to get it set up for that in the near future. Badbilltucker 16:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- The page layout must be "BB" (before boxes ;-). The current arrangement is hard to follow and misplaced the box edit links. I'm going to convert it over to the box-header, box-footer style.
- Selected image needs reformatting, I just took out the "thumb" for now.
- In general, rotated content should follow some established format: type of rotation, links to archive, nominations, etc. After some basic overall design decisions are made, I'll help implement them. Rfrisbietalk 16:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- "Subportals" > "Related portals". Possibly put the subportals as a subheading inside the section.
- "Things you can do" includes just the "Article Improvement Drive", please format it properly.
- Why are some of the headings italic and others are not?
- The "Selected picture" section needs more prose, you should try add more information about Ayyavazhi.
- Please include all the categories at the "Categories" section, rather than including the "Other Religion-categories" link.
- "Philosophy and Religion Directory" is not a WikiProject, and all the WikiProjects are already provided there so there is no reason to add it. Michaelas10 (Talk) 13:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

- Like I said, I knew a lot needed to be done, but being a newbie at portals, I didn't know what all needed to be done. I am currently working on putting together some of the files and archives for rotation. This will of course be delayed depending on how long it takes to establish these files for rotating content in the first place, which will probably take longer than I expected, like everything else does. :) Upon completion of the files, I will do what I can to ensure that the layout will be according to the instructions above. Thanks again from a neophyte for assisting in his efforts. :) Badbilltucker 15:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

- Position of "Related portals": There is no consensus on this section's location. Wikipedia:Portal/Guidelines#What content to include states, "Subportals or Related Portals (if there are any) – Some portals have these appear near the top, just below the "Introduction" (e.g. Arts or Technology). Others have them appear near the bottom (e.g., Biology or Literature)." Since it has been moved from the top of the page to the bottom, no consensus exists here either. However, I won't bother moving it back to the top. Rfrisbietalk 17:19, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- Add an "On this day" section, similar to Literature and others, for anniversaries, holidays, festivals, births, deaths, and other relevant, dated items.
- Add tabbed subpages, similar to Science and others.
- This is a comment — the show new selections isn't showing up correctly on my browser (I'm using Firefox). The top box titled the Religion Portal is covering it up. —sd31415 (sign here) 01:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Some more improvements:
- Expand Introduction section. I am not in favor of listing religions in the Introduction section.
- Please use images for the selected religious figures, like, God, Allah, Brahman.
- Reduce the image size for some of the images in Selected picture section, like Image:Gayatri.jpg, Image:Lotus with Soal.jpg, Image:Thor.jpg, Image:Tree of Life Medieval.jpg.jpg, Image:Holygrail.jpg, Image:Heart2.jpg and more. Using 250px could be better for them.
- Add Topics section. Religions in the Introduction section could be added in this. Add list of major religious institutes, like, temples, churches, mosques, gurdwaras and more. Add list of major religious figures.
- Work on Things you can do section.
- Use small image size for portals in Related portals. It could lead to leave the main portal by the reader.
- Either remove commons entry from Associate wikimedia or create/link it properly.
- The link goes to Commons:Category:Religion. Rfrisbietalk 22:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Categories section could be shortened by having more than one categories in a single line.

[edit] Completed to do list
A completed to do list is at Portal talk:Religion/to do. Rfrisbie 15:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Layout
I really like the layout, especially the tabs. It's ashame that the table drops when you click on the two left-most tabs. It drops because "< Portal:Religion" is written at the top of the page due to the software. Could this be fixed somehow? Perhaps the table on the mainpage could be lowered to match the other pages? How could this be done? --Oldak Quill 22:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
