Talk:Portal:Items

Noincludes

This is the only portal that has noincludes and includeonlys around the same content. I understand the idea of linking pics to portals on the portal pages, and to cats on the category pages. Maybe I'm missing something (which wouldn't be the first time), but shouldn't we do this for all portals, or just this one? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:13, 18 January 2007 (EST)

• Well, it only matters when there are subcats. Otherwise, there aren't any links to portals, just articles. But I'm pretty sure I set up some others to do this as well.--Hardvice (talk) 00:15, 18 January 2007 (EST)
  • That's fine. It just seems cumbersome when it comes to adding new items, that you'd have to put it in the same article twice. Threw me off earlier today. I don't mind doing it, but I would think there'd be an easier way of doing things. Maybe I'm being obtuse. :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:17, 18 January 2007 (EST)
    • We could put the noincludes/includes in the portal templates, but that would probably break other pages. We could put them around the individual links, but then we'd need two for each item, which would get confusing and not save much space. And indeed, other portals are like this (Portal:Places and Portal:Events) already when necessary. (Characters aren't, but then Category:Characters isn't subdivided the same way Portal:Characters is, and doesn't use the portal on the cat page.)--Hardvice (talk) 00:19, 18 January 2007 (EST)
