== Featured portals == |
|||
[[Portal:Texas]] is the first state featured portal, so I'm slowly working on getting the Utah one up to similar quality by working on several things: |
|||
*Using [[Template:Random portal component]] to have rotating content for the '''[[Portal:Utah/Selected picture|selected picture]]'''. This is already done, though more images can be added, as long as they are good quality or unique in some way. |
|||
*Using [[Template:Random portal component]] to have rotating content for the '''[[Portal:Utah/Selected article|selected article]]'''. I have started to populate the article page, and will add more to balance the large amount of geology- and nature-related articles (that happened to be featured). |
|||
:*'''update:''' This is up and going - more articles can be added. — [[User:Zaui|Zaui]] ([[User_talk:Zaui|talk]]) 04:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
* Texas has sections for '''biographies''' and '''cities'''. I'm not sure we have enough good Utah city articles to justify having a separate section - I'll have to take a look. I haven't started to look into a biography section yet either. |
|||
:*'''update:''' Biography section is up and running. — [[User:Zaui|Zaui]] ([[User_talk:Zaui|talk]]) 04:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
::*'''update:''' I don't think a separate cities section is viable - any decent city articles can be used as a selected article. — [[User:Zaui|Zaui]] ([[User_talk:Zaui|talk]]) 23:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC) |
|||
* Trimming the '''government''' and '''attraction''' sections from the portal. These subjects are better handled elsewhere - probably just need some links to pertinent articles. |
|||
:*'''update:''' These are trimmed now - added some attractions to [[Template:Utah]] and made [[Government of Utah]] from the government section. — [[User:Zaui|Zaui]] ([[User_talk:Zaui|talk]]) 23:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC) |
|||
* If anyone knows of a way to have the '''[[Portal:Utah/Utah_anniversaries/more|anniversaries]]''' automatically update, I think that would be a neat feature. |
|||
* Adding a '''List of Utah...''' section |
|||
:*'''update:''' This is completed. — [[User:Zaui|Zaui]] ([[User_talk:Zaui|talk]]) 20:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
Other suggestions are welcome. — [[User:Zaui|Zaui]] ([[User_talk:Zaui|talk]]) 17:29, 20 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:I plan to add a rotating '''Did you know...''' section also. — [[User:Zaui|Zaui]] ([[User_talk:Zaui|talk]]) 20:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:*'''update:'''Got this started, need to add more. — [[User:Zaui|Zaui]] ([[User_talk:Zaui|talk]]) 23:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC) |

== Panoramic images == |
|||
The panoramic images "kill" the columns display. They need to be reduced to stay where they are ''or'' put them in a 100% width section somewhere. :-) [[User:Rfrisbie|Rfrisbie]]<sup>[[User_talk:Rfrisbie|talk]]</sup> 19:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC) |

:This should be fixed now, but I can't check since I couldn't reproduce the problem with my browser - I sized them down to 450px. — [[User:Zaui|Zaui]] ([[User_talk:Zaui|talk]]) 18:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC) |
|||
::They have to be no wider than 300px at 800X600 display size for the column widths you have chosen. I made the changes. This really isn't a browser issue, it's a pixel width for low resolution displays issue. I would think your computer has a "display" control panel somewhere to set different screen resolutions. [[User:Rfrisbie|Rfrisbie]]<sup>[[User_talk:Rfrisbie|talk]]</sup> 18:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:::OK, I understand the issue now. Thanks for the fix. — [[User:Zaui|Zaui]] ([[User_talk:Zaui|talk]]) 20:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC) |

== Lists section format == |
|||
It seems the lists section wording is a bit redundant. References to the title (e.g., "List" ''and'' "Utah") usually are omitted. The items also are not in a consistent order, e.g., alphabetical. I made some <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Rfrisbie/Sandbox&oldid=98492290 proposed changes]</span> for your consideration.
