	*** Imho, the text for re-edits should only be a quick-reference help. Unless you are going through a tutorial, you shouldn't learn everything you need to know about editing a portal on the same page as the text for editing it (that's considered spam as you can't disable it--it always displays on edit).

	* [[Help:Editing]] is for general editing help. I'd rather see special topics (like templates and portals and theories) get their own page -- in this case, [[Help:Portals]]. Also, I think the shorter version is nice, but probably a little ''too'' short. It's still mostly fairly experienced users who edit the portals; I for one appreciate the inclusion of the percentage widths since I suck at even the most basic math.
