Hi [[User:JaimeS]], I made some minor changes to the main page, so if you have time, could you review them? Per a talk page suggestion, I replaced the image of pills for the "treatments" portal. Per the Manual of style, I moved the one external link to a "Learn more" section. Thanks. | |||

Tutorial on Portal pages: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Portals
Please update[edit source | reply | new]
Hi User:Kmdenmark! I have addressed the four remaining issues listed on this talk page. The mitochondria image has been updated. The Immune system portal now has the requested image. The Pathogen portal now has the requested image. Instead of two confusing search buttons, there is now one search button and a link to "Advanced Search" below it. The links to Portal:People_and_history have been updated. The new version is at User:Pyrrhus/Main. At your convenience, could you copy the contents of User:Pyrrhus/Main to this main page? Thanks again for all your help!

Main page changes aren't quite right - the main search and advanced button both search everywhere - and the advanced button goes to a separate page where you have to type again what you are search for. I don't know the code to fix this. I also think Advanced search should be on its own line ideally, under the main search. I think it might be better to use larger text for the main search button, which will make it wider - the use the "big" tag maybe? The buttons for Random and Popular pages have gone from there - they are now only on the side bar, and that's hidden on mobiles. Was that intentional? notjusttired (talk) 18:50, July 24, 2019 (EDT)
- Sorry, I don't know if it was intentional or not. Kmdenmark (talk) 14:14, July 30, 2019 (EDT)
- User:Pyrrhus do you know about the change above? What about larger text too? ~Njt (talk) 19:44, November 9, 2019 (EST)
Search Full Text clarification[edit source | reply | new]
Originally, I was confused by the search box buttons. I didn’t understand the difference between “Try exact match” and “Search full text”. I think it would be clearer to new people if we changed “Search full text” to say “Search anywhere”. (Simply add searchbuttonlabel=Search anywhere
to the inputbox.)

change mitochondria image -- notjusttired (talk) 09:14, July 6, 2019 (EDT)[edit source | reply | new]

Please change the mitochondria image - it currently isn't copyrighted for reuse. Please change the for name to: File:Mitochondria-white.png in the source code view. This was previously raised on Slack and Talk page, without objections. User:Kmdenmark notjusttired (talk) 09:14, July 6, 2019 (EDT)

Change immune and pathogen Portal images (repost from Slack)[edit source | reply | new]
content hidden |
---|
Both the Immune system and Pathogens portals have very similar topics for their images even though the images look different (the Pathogens one shows an immune system cell attacking a virus, the immune system shows just a virus stain and it's not very good quality). I think we should also look at replacing both the Immune system and the Pathogens portal images: could be used for Pathogens and for Immune system - also not sure how other editors view that. User:Pyrrhus has also suggested the Enterovirus drawing . Thoughts?

Admin request - link to be Portal[edit source | reply | new]
content hidden |

Can you link the newly created Portal:Treatments with the image and text on the main page? I've created the content for it but the main page is protected so I can't edit it. Feedback would be appreciated on the layout - wider image section and several unused sections removed User:Kmdenmark User:JaimeS Thanks Njt notjusttired (talk) 18:27, 5 May 2019 (EDT)

Contents link exposed to general public?[edit source | reply | new]
content hidden |
---|
The main page is attractively laid out with portals, and appealing to a viewer wanting to browse through major topics. However, I’m not sure there should be a link to the ‘Contents’ page available to the general public. My impression of the unsightly Contents page is that it is primarily for contributors, not the viewing public. I don’t see a need for a public-facing Contents page when we already have a great Main page such as this one. Perhaps we could move the ‘Contents’ link to the ‘Contribute’ page instead, so that it's available to contributors there? (Another option is to move the link to the left-hand sidebar under "Tools".)
I have now added a link to the Contents page on the Contribute page, so contributors will have it available there.

Treatments Portal[edit source | reply | new]

Can the main outline page(s) be added for this plus the link to them? I know how to complete some of the content like Featured pictures and Featured articles but there is no skeleton there. I think a link to clinical trials from here might be helpful too. Tagging page editors for input User:JenB User:Brettz9 User:JaimeS User:Ollie notjusttired (talk) 18:17, 26 February 2019 (EST)

Links on lefthand sidebar[edit source | reply | new]

The lefthand sidebar of the main page contains links for the public and links for contributors.

Incorrect page counter?[edit source | reply | new]
content hidden |
---|
Last year, MEpedia announced on facebook that more than 4500 pages had been created. The page counter on the main page is only 2590. Is the page counter inaccurate or was the facebook count inflated by including category pages, etc?

Layout change for all portals notjusttired[edit source | reply | new]
content hidden |
---|
I think both Selected pictures and Topics should be the full width of the page rather than just across one of the two columns. See different layout on the new Portal:Treatments compared to the current layout on Portal:Nervous system - this will make a huge difference in mobiles and should also grab more attention.

Change to search box area[edit source | reply | new]
content hidden |
---|
Can you please add some code to the first part of the search box code, to help it always be centered? User:Kmdenmark Look for this (without the 'pre'): {| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle Then add in 2 parts, a unique ID, plus the !important (no space before or after the exclamation mark), this should always center the table, regardless of which skin is being used. It's very important to use the double-quote (speech marks) rather than a two quotes, and to put a space before the id= and class= sections. New code should look like this {| id="searchtable" class="wikitable" style="margin: auto; text-align:center!important; vertical-align:middle It will probably look identical after, unless you try pivot skin.

History and People Portal links -- notjusttired (talk) 18:18, July 5, 2019 (EDT)[edit source | reply | new]
Please change the 2 links for History and People to link to Portal:History_and_People - the link goes to the old page name of "History" at the moment, which is redirected. There's the portal image link and linked the words under it. User:Kmdenmark Thanks notjusttired (talk) 18:18, July 5, 2019 (EDT) Updated notjusttired (talk) 09:04, July 22, 2019 (EDT)
Poor quality treatments image[edit source | reply | new]
The yellow pill bottle / container looks a little blurred and doesn't stand out well enough from the white background. We now have several other images of pills uploaded that are better quality, can we use a different image? Besides pills we could think about a prescription bag, doctor's bag or general hospital / pharmacy image. ~Njt (talk) 20:04, November 9, 2019 (EST)
