::::And I think few people have reacted negatively to the bulleted list format. --[[User:AudeVivere|Aude]] (<small>[[User:AudeVivere|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/AudeVivere|contribs]]</small>) 18:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

:<fontspan style="color:#00A650;">''I'm unimpressed with the way some (i.e. David Levy) are handling the portal icon situation.. it seems very unconstructive.''</fontspan>

:How is it constructive to insert styling that defies consensus, and why shouldn't it be removed?

:<fontspan style="color:#00A650;">''i understand that a select few are opposed to icons full stop..''</fontspan>

:No, more than "a select few" oppose the inclusion of portal icons.

:<fontspan style="color:#00A650;">''and that all previous attempts have been ruled out by consensus.. but this doesn't mean we couldn't get consensus on something different (possibly similar to the version David Levy reverted)..''</fontspan>

:The opposition to portal icons&mdash;''any'' portal icons&mdash;is strong.

:<fontspan style="color:#00A650;">''and in the interests of making wikipedia more user-friendly, it seems highly advantageous to try -''</fontspan>

:There is no consensus that the addition of icons will make Wikipedia "more user-friendly."

:<fontspan style="color:#00A650;">''plus, many people have claimed the opposition to icons exemplifies the elitist atmosphere within wikipedia.''</fontspan>

:The people most likely to be adversely affected by the presence of portal icons are those with low display resolutions and/or large text sizes. Are people with old/inexpensive computers and/or poor eyesight society's "elite"?

:<fontspan style="color:#00A650;">''The argument that the icons cause wrapping on some browsers, so we shouldn't have them at all, seems negative, unconstructive, and if you ask me unprofessional.. i mean, i know very little about wiki-markup, but surely this is a fixable non-issue.''</fontspan>

:No, it isn't. The inclusion of '''any''' images larger than the bullets '''will''' increase the likelihood of wrapping. The icons sometimes end up on different lines than the corresponding links, and this looks '''''terrible'''''. &mdash;[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 20:56, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

== A question ==

How were you able to hide the titlebar and tagline? I have failed to see anything in the code on this. How did this occur in the history, too? I am amazed how this could be possible. --'''[[User:Wcquidditch|<fontspan colorstyle="color:red;">WC</fontspan>''<fontspan colorstyle="color:#999933;">Quidditch</fontspan>'']]''' <big>[[User talk:Wcquidditch|<fontspan colorstyle="color:red;">&#9742;</fontspan>]] [[Special:Contributions/Wcquidditch|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#999933;">&#9998;</fontspan>]]</big> 20:36, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

::no, the hidden templates are for the "show/hide" section link. i don't know how the page's titlebar is being hidden though. --[[User:Quiddity|Quiddity]] 06:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

*find / search box

** The negative vertical spacing on the label (from [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] - #bodySearchMP label { display: block; font-size: 95%; font-weight: bold; '''margin-bottom: -.2em;''' }) worries me. This is under Firefox 1.5 using Monobook.

Hello to everyone,

I have suggested this before and I'm here to do it again. Remove the "the free encyclopedia" slogan. It just takes away from the level of respect people have. By having that people won't think this is a real encyclopedia, it'll sound like a joke. I just don't think we should keep it. Thank you for your time<br>

:It won't make the coding any clearer, and will interfere with Lupin's popups. That said, I see no read issues. Ideally, hover text could be added in some other way. -- [[User talk:Ec5618|Ec5618]] 17:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

::::::::[http://www.google.com/custom?sa=Google+Search&domains=wikipedia.org&sitesearch=wikipedia.org WP specific Google] and [http://www.wikiwax.com/ WikiWax] are wonderful. How did we get ''there''? I rv'd Renata3's edit for the reason stated in my edit summary. That was my first problem and so it got to the edit summary. The extra searchbox, the icons and the tossing out of what I thought represented a sure and steady migration towards a consensus draft being summarily tossed doesn't seem the way things should be introduced.
