I hardcoded the html, then copied the html into a template. Should work the same, right? Apparently not. When I use the template (Template:Steelheader), it's broken like the boxheader. But if you do subst: in front, it works correctly. Something behaves differently when a template is being used. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:52, 16 March 2006 (CST)

It shows a lot of promise. A couple of questions:
# Navigation. Is there going to be some sort of a navigation (not unlike the character template) to cut straight down into the characters people would most likely want to access?
# RDM content. Are we going to keep the portals RDM only? I kind of liked the idea of supporting all of the series with the portals, but the reality is that the TOS and 1980 gets a lot less traffic, and might be plenty served just by having portals of their own (the TOS and 1980 portals) rather than getting a share of the character portal. It looks like you're running out of real estate just with RDM stuff.
That's all I've got for now... --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 21:11, 16 March 2006 (CST)

Worst Case

Worst case... we hardcode the html. As long as the content is all in editable templates, I think it's reasonable to have some html in the portals. --Steelviper 11:27, 16 March 2006 (CST)

Once article becomes Portal, it should work according to the IRC group. --Shane 16:28, 16 March 2006 (CST)

It shows a lot of promise. A couple of questions:

  1. Navigation. Is there going to be some sort of a navigation (not unlike the character template) to cut straight down into the characters people would most likely want to access?
  2. RDM content. Are we going to keep the portals RDM only? I kind of liked the idea of supporting all of the series with the portals, but the reality is that the TOS and 1980 gets a lot less traffic, and might be plenty served just by having portals of their own (the TOS and 1980 portals) rather than getting a share of the character portal.
