Portal:Amusement parks
Has just been through the peer review process and has had a lot of work done on including randomised content. Many thanks for your time in advance, Sea serpent 85 23:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * In portal peer review, Cirt was right. It's strongly recommended to have at least 10 items in each section. OhanaUnitedTalk page 00:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'm getting that sorted ASAP, hadn't expected such a swift reply! :) Sea serpent 85 00:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

 * If you started a Featured Portal Candidate discussion, you should archive the Peer Review. Cirt (talk) 05:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC).
 * ✅ Sea serpent 85 00:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Also, others should check out Portal peer review/Amusement parks/archive1. Cirt (talk) 05:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC).

The portal needs some corrections:
 * Introduction section should have some more lines. Avoid redirect links as much as possible, like INDIA, ASIA, Amusement parks, Rides, etc.
 * ✅ Some of those were from vandalism and have been reverted back. Sea serpent 85 00:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Main topics section needs to be broadened. - Shyam  ( T / C ) 05:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment: A few suggestions —
 * In the introduction, Learn more... → Read more...
 * As pointed out by Cirt, more items are needed in each section.
 * ✅ Sea serpent 85 00:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * An Associated Wikimedia box is needed (example).
 * ❌ I don't see the benefit in linking to numerous non-existing pages on other wikis.
 * Show new selections is almost blending in with the background. Perhaps you could change the color of Show new selections to white? Regards, [ sd ] 12:32, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * ❌ Purely as I'm not sure how to change the colour of an external link. Sea serpent 85 14:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ Done — [ sd ] 14:46, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that, it was driving me crazy! Sea serpent 85 00:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: A few more suggestions —
 * Things you can do: Although it has tasks from the Roller coasters WikiProject, it would also be appropriate to add tasks from the Amusement parks WikiProject.
 * ❌ At present there isn't a to do list on the amusement park project.
 * News: Amusement park news (which might sound repetitive) could be changed to News, Current news, or Recent news.
 * ✅ Sea serpent 85 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * DYK:
 * For uniformity, More... → Read more...
 * ✅ Sea serpent 85 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * More DYK items are needed (around 12–15 would be nice).
 * Will be adding these as I find them. Sea serpent 85 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ 12 up there now, fully randomised too. Sea serpent 85 16:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for keeping up with my suggestions! Cheers, [ sd ] 05:03, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: If possible, an update to the news section would be good. [ sd ] 13:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ Sea serpent 85 15:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! A few finishing touches—
 * could be changed to.
 * The  section should be moved to the right columns to balance out the columns. Struck out by [ sd ] on 00:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * For uniformity with the other sections,  →.
 * Like the to do and news sections, creative icons would look good in the DYK (example image), topics, and categories sections. Great work! [ sd ] 03:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Another paragraph would be nice in the introduction. The featured Numismatics Portal has a nice introduction length of three paragraphs. Cheers, [ sd ] 12:32, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * All ✅ with the exception of moving the main topics section - from my setup, on average the columns are of comparable length? Can anyone else confirm if there's an issue here? Thanks for all the suggestions, sd! Sea serpent 85 14:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind—you're right. Oh, and Shyam  ( T / C ) suggested above that "Main topics section needs to be broadened." Happy editing, [ sd ] 00:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Missing section: The portal is missing an Associated Wikimedia section. Cirt (talk) 08:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC).
 * Comment
 * It was suggested above, and the nominator replied, "I don't see the benefit in linking to numerous non-existing pages on other wikis." Cheers, [ sd ] 11:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hrm, really? Nothing even relevant on any other project?  Not even worthy of linking through the Special:Search function?  Cirt (talk) 10:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC).
 * The only other projects that contain anything are the commons and wiktionary, not exactly worthy of their own section, surely? Sea serpent 85 13:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If Commons and Wiktionary have relevant connections, of course its worthy of an Associated Wikimedia section. Cirt (talk) 06:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC).
 * ✅ Sea serpent 85 10:41, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Support: Great work with the portal! Cheers, [ sd ] 13:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
