			==Revisit split==
			So we have six cells, seven schools, two museums, the Company's facility, and a lecture hall. How might this best be split? "Education" vs. "research" gives us 10 Education and 7 research, but six of the research are also "cells". However, "cells" would be a weird choice for a subportal here, since it's not obvious what incarceration has to do with research until you look at the articles. "Schools" would strand the museums and the lecture hall. We could also move "cells" under Law Enforcement, but the Company isn't involved in law enforcement. Ideas?--[[User:Hardvice\|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice\|(talk)]]</small> 16:41, 14 November 2007 (EST)

	** I should probably also add that most of my reluctance to split this comes from the fact that [[Portal:Places]] has twelve items, making for three rows of four, and two rows of six on [[template:PortalPlaceNav]]. While a large chunk of this concern is pure anal retentiveness, thirteen is kind of a large number of items for a portal/navbar. Now we could very easily do subportals (put apartments and homes as subpages of Residences (similar to [[Portal:World Locations]]), for example, or include Hotels, Restaurants, and maybe Transportation as subpages of Businesses (more like [[Portal:Things]]), and that would reduce the number on Portal:Places by a few--though it would mean more clicks to get to an article.--[[User:Hardvice\|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice\|(talk)]]</small> 23:16, 28 October 2007 (EDT)		** I should probably also add that most of my reluctance to split this comes from the fact that [[Portal:Places]] has twelve items, making for three rows of four, and two rows of six on [[template:PortalPlaceNav]].

			**** In that case, I am leaning towards subportals. I think it will provide us the most flexibility. Next question: should we just bite the bullet and make the GN places mirror the episode places? There's a breakdown on [[Talk:Portal:GN Miscellaneous Places]] of what we stand to gain and lose by doing so (we could also implement the "Parks & Outdoors" / "Recreation" portal over here). I almost want to do so just for parity's sake, and because we'll probably need to do so eventually, but some of those GN portals would be a bit sparse.<br><br>In any case, here's my proposed breakdown:
			***** Businesses
			****** Hotels & Casinos
			****** Restaurants & Bars
			****** Transportation
			***** Education
			***** Law Enforcement (could also be subportaled with "Politics" and future "Military" if needed under "Government")
			***** Medical
			***** Miscellaneous
			***** Offices
			***** Politics (see Law Enforcement)
			***** Recreation
			***** Research
			***** Residences (currently no articles, though the shacks/cabins could move off of Homes)
			****** Apartments
			****** Homes
