Portal talk:Hugo Chávez

Do we really need portals for individual people? --SVTCobra 20:02, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I totally agree. Also, we should not put Wikipedia links in the infoboxes as it will encourage people to leave Wikinews.  —Fellow Wiki  Newsie 20:03, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * comment in middle: I think 'pedia links are very important. I've heard many people say they like us because of our 'pedia links. If people truly want to leave wikinews they will, if they want to stay, an offsite link won't make them go. Bawolff ☺☻ 01:30, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree: a portal is just a way of using a DPL on a category, and to properly format the information, unlike Wikipedia were a portal is for large subjects.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:05, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * IMO would should use a cat page like Bill Gates and Tony Blair. --Mark Talk to me 20:14, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's fine by me. Delete this if you want, it was just a Hugo Chavez .--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Portals still need to be maintained ... are you committing to keeping this updated?
 * The category has all that you need:
 * a dynamic list of recent articles
 * an alphabetized list of all articles
 * and links to Wikipedia, Commons and Wikisource --SVTCobra 20:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Didn't know we had that on the category, and I don't have time to maintain the portal, so I've redirected. Thanks for your excellent suggestions. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 21:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Mark, that's what we got already. SVTCobra 20:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * We don't really have a clear definition of what a portal is. Some have lead article/ etc like mini main pages for the subject, well many are just the portal header, an image, a wikipedia/etc, a DPL, and a navbox. (Personal Opinion: the whole portal namespaace was a bad idea, we should have just stuck to categories). Bawolff ☺☻ 01:30, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
