=Definition of History=

I think new visitors may be confused when the click on the History category on the main page. When I saw history , I was thinking of the definition given on 10:59, 2004 Nov 20 (UTC)

: Some people have been posting post-modernist feminist nonsense on the category pages, which have easy access from the main page. 14:32, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

= San Miguel Mission =

I couldn t help noticing that of the six articles in history, one of them was San Miguel Mission, which is neither a category, nor an article important enough to be featured as one of the six articles on history; if you are going to put that there, you might as well put every other history article.

= Titlebar Problem =

While purple is a pretty color for a titlebar, any links within require squinting to read correctly. The color need to be changed, at least for any titlebars with links. 12:48, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

I think the titlebar isn t very good as it is. Don t you think the more attractive layout is at 08:29, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I think a plain grey colour would be fine. -- 09:21, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Gray it is. (actually silver) But Komencanto, it would be OK with me if you wished to revert the other top category looks, as you have a stake in this. I will find the edit history links to the previous looks and post them. 10:41, 19 July 2005 (UTC) *[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.phptitle=Category:History&oldid=19003340 History ] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.phptitle=Category:Culture&oldid=19042930 Culture] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.phptitle=Category:Personal_life&oldid=19005830 Life] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.phptitle=Category:Mathematics&oldid=19138965 Math is reverted already]. *[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.phptitle=Category:Science&oldid=19003179 Science] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.phptitle=Category:Human_societies&oldid=19019899 Society] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.phptitle=Category:Technology&oldid=18979777 Technology]

You know what would be pretty nice If users could choose what colour they want the title bar to be. -- 16:22, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Sorry mate, I know you put a lot of effort in, but I just don t see what the benefit is of having them on a bar rather than like they are on the main page. It just looks neater and more consistent, and you don t have all of the problems with colours and being able to see what the dark coloured links are saying. -- 00:21, 20 July 2005 (UTC) :We have a choice. The links above show the Main Page look. It is possible to revert to the Main Page look, using the links above. When I wrote the note above, Mathematics had not yet been reverted to the Category bar with colors. Komencanto, I have no problem if you wish to revert to the Main Page look. 03:49, 20 July 2005 (UTC) :As an experiment, basically for consistency with the Math look, I have moved the Welcome text below the Intro sections for Culture, Life, Society, Science and Technology. You are free to revert to the looks you prefer. I put the links to the Main Page looks above, for your convenience. 11:06, 20 July 2005 (UTC) ::It s great to work with someone who s so cooperative. I ll revert them when I ve got time. We may as well make them a-- 14:04, 20 July 2005 (UTC) template. ^_^

=Consistancy=

Over the past few days efforts have been made to 1- merge the portal pages of the 8 main-page subjects with their category pages, and 2- make them consistant with each others. Before making significant layout changes please discuss it so the 8 pages remain consistant. 20:02, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

= Clutter =

Can we, um, clean up all the clutter -- some of just dont need to see a whole article and just want to get to the categories. - 19:11, 23 July 2005 (UTC) :SV, I put in a link to the categories section, but currently it is just repositioning to a div below the intro. Hope this helps for now. The history categories do appear in a separate box, so the link appears OK; The method I used seems to work for other top 8 categories. TBD and WIP for now. 18:38, 24 July 2005 (UTC) :SV, it seems to work in IE; my problem appears to be in Firefox only. fzdfsdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf 21:51, 25 July 2005 (UTC) ::see note on quick navigation for the 8 categories on the Main page *The 8 pages with the portal and then the categories worked fine. Now this one looks all broken. 02:12, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
