Revision as of 15:56, 10 January 2014
Portals have been a huge failure. Reforms to them have been promised several times, and nothing has changed. The portals haven't even been updated for months. When a reader sees our main page and clicks "Items", they want lists of items or a way to browse items. They do not want an "image of the day" or "featured item" or any of the other irrelevant nonsense on there. I hate to sound harsh, but nobody cares about any of that. Especially readers.
Therefor, I propose going back to linking to Categories or List Pages from the main page and closing portals.

Comments
- Waste of time to be honest. The wiki would benefit from this as a whole. Portals would work on a smaller wiki, where a certain category wouldn't be updated as much, but for an ever expanding wiki on an ever expanding subject, it's obvious that we need to get rid of an anchoring way of organization. -Wonderweez (Talk · Contribs) 04:04, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
- I thought it was voted to close the portals at the last council meeting lol. Unfortunately, this seems to be another one of those ideas that only benefits when we have a lot more editors (like departments). CK 06:35, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
- No. I like those portals and they are interesting cause they provide some information people should know about some items and they have easy "shortcuts" to other pages. I may change my vote later on, but right now i am for against. --Best Wishes, Penstubal 11:41, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
