Pictures

We could also add some message for an optional picture of the person, but I don't know where we'd put it. Bawolff ☺☻ 09:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I like the photo's location on Category:Hillary Clinton. With the middle part replaced by the DPL, and the right side for links to other projects. —Zachary ^talk 09:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

What do you think of category:Linus Torvalds? (and should it start with title, or below?). Bawolff ☺☻ 09:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I like it, with the header directly to the right of the image. Looks great! —Zachary ^talk 09:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Oops, I hated the image to the left on Category:George W. Bush, feel free to revert me but I feel images look better on the right and smaller, lay-out-wise that is.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 10:57, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Problem is then the left column is too long. Bawolff ☺☻ 11:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

To me it's better to have a bit of white space than to have the bullets on the left disorganised...--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 11:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Title

I'm having a hard time believing that we only have 3 articles "that mention George W. Bush" in 2007, although the template is giving just that impression. I'd change the wording to simply "latest articles" instead of "Latest articles for PAGENAME".--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 11:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

The template is - in effect - reminding people to get out their AWB and categorise. I just discovered we don't have Karl Rove. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 08:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

A bit of a software structuring issue

Currently, a user must manually list in the category section of an article a link to the 'People' category. This should all be automagic when an article makes news mention to a "people" or "person": then 'boom, the article appears in the 'people' category (if the category exists). Linkage means an internal link here on Wikinews. -Edbrown05 07:31, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

The same goes for regions... In other words, a crawler for news written here. If a category exists, the crawler picks it up and includes it on the relevant page. -Edbrown05 07:40, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Topics would have to still be done manually. But in my opinon, the Main Page should be arranged by Topic when the time arises. Everything else is software sortable. -Edbrown05 08:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikiquote

I was bold and added {{wikiquote}} to the cross-project links, in the order in which it has typically been placed in pages here. While I was at it, I also updated the WQ template so that it has the same size and formatting that the other cross-project templates use. I hope everyone finds this acceptable. ~ Jeffq - (talk) 04:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
