Where and how will this be displayed when finished?--The Merovingian 13:37, 15 March 2006 (CST)
- Still working on that. It has to do with the new Main Page design that I worked on. --Shane 21:38, 15 March 2006 (CST)
Boxheader template issues
The biggest outstanding issue is with the boxheader regarding defining the colors for the title/body/borders, etc. --Steelviper 13:23, 15 March 2006 (CST)
- Colors should not, if possible, be specified in the wikicode or the HTML. Ideally, we should use classes to control color, so that these templates may look good across all skins for the Wiki. This might take some coordination with Joe, though. --Day 14:23, 15 March 2006 (CST)
- Didn't he send you the CSS so you could play with that? Anyway, if you can get the colors going, you're welcome to them. I can't even HARDCODE them correctly through all these layers of templates (portal->portal/boxheader->boxheader). --Steelviper 14:36, 15 March 2006 (CST)
- I am going to solict some outside help for this problem. --Shane 10:00, 16 March 2006 (CST)

TOS Cylon Pic
Would you like me to get a screen capture of a close-up of a TOS Centurion? I think that would look better than the DVD box cover. --Steelviper 07:19, 17 March 2006 (CST)
Limiting the universe?
Is this portal to be restricted to the RDM universe? As the wording curently stands, a very large chunk of this page relates only to RDM, not TOS/1980. Anything beyond the 5th sentence, in fact. --Durandal 08:06, 19 March 2006 (CST)
- No. It's unretricited to series. Right now most of the infomration I knew came from the RDM series. Once we get the "boxes" to work with the edit button I can add something about the (TOS) "Toaster" Cylons compared with the RDM Metal Cylons. --Shane (C - E) 10:53, 19 March 2006 (CST)
What's Up With This?
So I was clicking around and seeing what was going on with this (I missed the upgrade and so didn't realize we could begin forward motion again)? This portal is listed as "done" on the project page but looks kind of jacked up to me. Should we move it, or am I missing some detail or... something? --Day (Talk - Admin) 02:41, 17 April 2006 (CDT)
- Correct. This is currently "jacked up". I think Shane dropped it down to one box to simplify the task of troubleshooting why the boxheaders/boxfooters aren't working as designed. I guess this could be safely moved to "not done". --Steelviper 08:15, 17 April 2006 (CDT)
- The introduction text is really poorly written right now. Is the page intended to speak of ALL Cylons, or properly divide the RDM and TOS varieties? I missed the upgrade adjustments as well and so I'm trying to figure in the purpose and advantage of the portals vs their existing articles. --Spencerian 09:52, 17 April 2006 (CDT)
- The idea behind the portals would be not to replace an existing article, but to act as a central hub for activity and interest about specific topics. Example: Wikipedia:Portal:Physics. The person who started this Portal intended it to encompass ALL Cylons, but there's probably a lot more interest and activity related to the RDM Cylons. There was actually some pretty interesting stuff on earlier versions of this page if you dig back into the history, but there are currently technical difficulties that are keeping the portal boxes from being implemented as smoothly as the Wikipedia one (check out the code behind the wikipedia portal). --Steelviper 10:02, 17 April 2006 (CDT)
- I'm not sure there really is one, particularly with as small an article space as we have compared to wikipedia. At any rate, having TOS, 1980 and RDM content mixed together doesn't strike me as very useful. --Peter Farago 10:40, 17 April 2006 (CDT)
Current Human-Cylon Models Sub-Portal
I have been trying for a week and I still cannot get the pictures to line up on the main Cylons Portal page. When you go to edit the Current Human-Cylon Models Sub-Portal it looks fine but editing the script on the Cylons portal does nothing. Anyone else have any ideas? Nwobkwr 17:29, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- Maybe it would be and look better if instead of the Agents we just put a list of everything that fits into the Cylon Category organized by what it is?
Ex: Cylon Vessels:
Raider
Basestar
Resurrection Ship
Heavy raider
I dunno, I think it would look a bit more organized... --Sauron18 23:59, 02 June 2006
- Maybe we could have a separate list of ships but putting them all together would be a little crowded. Anyway,-->the pictures still aren't lining up right. We may have to drop those reference tags if they're screwing up the alignment and just write than info on the bottom. Actually, I'll try that out now; if it doens't work change it back or something. --The Merovingian (C - E) 08:13, 3 June 2006 (CDT)
- Actually, I meant without pictures (at least the majority), sort of like the simple Cylon Page, but instead of being organized by Letter organized by category. Just some thoughts, since I've found it hard to get to certain articles without searching. --Sauron18 05:24, 05 June 2006
- How about using invisible wikitables? --Mercifull 06:28, 5 June 2006 (CDT)
The wikitables idea is good but it appears it is already set up that way in the sub-portal. If you're not sure what I mean click the edit button beside "Current Human-Cylon Models." When the page comes up click Portal at the top and you'll see what I mean. It also seems that the entire page needs some revamping since new items have been added since my last post.

Three known to the fleet?
With Anders in the fleet, wouldn't they know of Number 3 now? --BklynBruzer 19:16, 11 September 2006 (CDT)
- Yes and No. There is no on screen evidence that eh told her. I was thinking about this too and I was tempted to remove it myself. --Shane (T - C - E) 20:56, 11 September 2006 (CDT)
- Well, given that Threes were fairly visible in the occupation, I think it's safe to say they're known to the fleet. --BklynBruzer 21:35, 27 October 2006 (CDT)
"Suspected Cylon of the Week"
I think it should be changed to Anders because of all the speculation after Exodus II. (even though I think he is NOT a cylon) - GMo >:M:< 21:16, 27 October 2006 (CDT)
Number 2
I think we should add a notes section that talks about Cavil being #2 (refer to Talk:Cavil#Number_Two). Say something like "Some fans believe Cavil is actually #2
Evidence:
- "Number Two: This is three downloads for me." that is the quote from the Captioning for Exodus Part I.
Support (Are we allowed to use that outside of actual votes?) --BklynBruzer 20:00, 29 October 2006 (CST)
Oppose Captioning evidence is far to flimsy. Let's be patient. --Peter Farago 20:05, 29 October 2006 (CST)
