There are no information about some things said in the portal on the pornography article; for example: in the portal says "[...]known as Pornography. This has become a multitrillion dollar industry. Ninety-nine percent of the world's population has been exposed to pornography[...]" but there is nothing about these information on the article supposedly with more information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.26.19.91 (talk) 17:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
i'm a bit confused.. why are there external links to random entries mentioned in that list? and what is 'selected internet porn' anyway? it would seem those links are somewhat gratuitous. Boombaard (talk) 11:23, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikiprojects
why are there links to pornography websites in the 'wikiprojects' section? if it's 'normal' to link to what i would guess to be for profit websites, why isn't the list more exhaustive? it seems weird, but if i look back at the history the links have been there for months already.

[edit] Random article selector
I have added a random article selector. The code looks like this:
{{Random portal component|max=1|header=Featured article|footer=More articles...|subpage=Featured article}}
This will randomly select one article to be displayed on the main page from the n possible articles stored on the Portal:Pornography/Featured article list. The "max" attribute will determine the first n articles to choose from. This will allow anyone to add content and it will rotate automatically on each visit. I have done the same to the Portal:Pornography/Featured picture and Portal:Pornography/Featured erotica boxes. Arundhati lejeune 15:14, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kill the spam
Can this please be seriously looked at? There is a box on the page which a used to say "Pornography News". It's been reworked by an IP to Pornography Network, and for a LONG time now the transcluded template for the network box has just been a list of random porn sites added by IPs. Worryingly, it doesn't get edited much except when an editor sees it and tries to revert to an earlier, less controversial, and less spammy state. Then within a day, an IP pops up and turns it back into a list of porn sites, apparently miffed about losing the traffic. I just don't understand why a portal on pornography is so unwatched, so vacant, so little on the talk page and so unprotected.
As far as I can see that box has never been legitimately useful for an encyclopaedia and needs to be removed entirely. But since this is a whole portal, I don't want to just fix it without getting some more opinions.
Additionally, the portal needs to be either more closely watched, including all templates, or semi-protected with the cascading option. • Anakin (contribs • complaints) 21:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Same for the Portal:Pornography/Wikiprojects template. *sigh* • Anakin (contribs • complaints) 21:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Okay I'm just going to fix it myself, fix the Wikiprojects template and remove the other box. So much for trying to "get consensus". • Anakin (contribs • complaints) 01:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
