[edit] Related entities

I think there should be links to related entities, rather like a "see also" on the portal page. A link to the War portal, as well as the WWII task force would be useful IMO. Oberiko 03:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

The task force is linked from the "Things you can do" box, but a more generic set of related portal links would probably be a good idea, as there are a number of fairly obvious ones. Kirill Lokshin 04:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Broken links

There are plenty of broken links throughout the portal (daily battle..etc) Looks a bit scruffy Fethroesforia 13:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject

Is there a Wikiproject for World War Two? I am looking forward to becoming involved here at the portal, but would like to join a project as well. Any suggestions? Jmlk17 23:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

The WikiProject you are looking for is the Military history WikiProject, which has a World War II task force. I would encourage you to join both the main project and the task force; if you have any questions about either one, you can ask me on my talk. Carom 23:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Excellent! Many thanks. Jmlk17 23:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

The Quotes box only has a quote by one person at a time. Should we show several quotes or maybe the box should be renaimed, something like "quote of the day" or "selected quote"? Think outside the box 10:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Probably Selected Quote since it could change each time someone visits the page. I also just noticed the number of available quotes was set to 3 - I've changed it to the current 10. — Zaui (talk) 15:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
10 should be good. Jmlk17 00:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Width

The page is way too wide and the wikionary logo is huge! Whats going on here? Tested in both Firefox and IE.This pic shows what I mean. Think outside the box 14:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

It had to do with Portal:World War II/World War II Wikimedia the subpage with links to other Wikimedia projects. The template wasn't quite right when it was created earlier this month, which I corrected. It looks fine to me now, so the issue should be resolved. Parsecboy (talk) 18:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Ah, thats fixed it! Looks much better :) Think outside the box 19:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
