Template:Portal is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.

Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.

Please change the image of the Islam portal to this image according to the discussion on WikiProject Islam ☆SuperNinja2☆ 06:36, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done ... but that is not a consensus as no one else responded, and it was only open for three days. Therefore I will revert this change on request — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:07, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As there is no consensus, it should be reverted. Zsohl ^(Talk) 12:21, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ It was stated that this change would be reverted upon request, Why is it not reverted? We don't reach a consensus and it is being opposed. Zsohl ^(Talk) 01:37, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted --- it looks like the discussion for change did not reach a consensus. If MSGJ wants to revert my reversion, I will defer to them. — hike395 (talk) 05:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. I just didn't notice your post Zsohl until you pinged me — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change: replace File:Psi2.svg -> File:Greek uc psi icon.svg --Mrmw (talk) 13:33, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Diff:

Mrmw (talk) 13:33, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a consensus for this change? Here's the difference:

Please link to a discussion, if any. I see that you have added this image to many pages without using edit summaries. Please use edit summaries, especially when editing template pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:40, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: this file is part of new series, they are optmized and harmonized, please have a look at template on commons (see: c:Template:Other versions/Greek letters) --Mrmw (talk) 15:06, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So no discussion, no consensus, no edit summaries? How is a template editor to know whether this is a reasonable change to make? – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:53, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: of course its resonable - i told you this file is part of new series of greek letters - do you have any questions? you can see these files at template on commons (see link above) --Mrmw (talk) 17:03, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the link you provided, and then I asked a question that you have not yet answered. You have not provided any links showing that this is anything other than a personal project on Commons with no support beyond your own ideas about what looks better aesthetically. Another template editor may be willing to make this change on good faith, and I would not object, but I don't see a good reason to do so using my own template editor rights. Also, you continue to make edits without providing edit summaries, even after I posted a gentle warning message on your talk page. Sorry if that is frustrating. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:23, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit template-protected}} template. —⁠andrybak (talk) 00:55, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, except icon requires a link because it is CC licensed. — hike395 (talk) 11:42, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Urgent: Please fix this template for printed content Module:Portal/styles.css.

Moved from Module talk:Portal

Firstly, apologies for writing in English if this is not your first language (this is an automated message).

This template has been detected as one of 436 pages using styles that break the page when printed when the user is using dark mode. The fix is very straightforward - all your styles relating to dark mode must be scoped to. Since there is a high risk of this templates being copied to other wikis it is important this notice is acted on ASAP.

To fix this:

Update `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark` to `@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark`
Wrap any styles relating to `html.skin-theme-clientpref-night` in `@media screen`

If this message has not been acted on in 7 days, this will be fixed by an automated script. Thank you for your help fixing this important issue.

For any questions feel free to ask them at phab:T369874.
