User:RayneVanDunem/Standards for Portals

This is a compendium of proposed standards for WikiFur portals. Nominally, they should incorporate much of what's already on the front page.

This probably won't include a News section since region-specific WikiFur news is not that oft-updated.

Georegional portals
Covering Category:Geography
 * Community/Commmunities - a box that lists articles on organized furry communities that are located within the area
 * People - a box that lists articles on specific people who reside in the region
 * Upcoming events - a box that lists articles on upcoming events being held by groups in the area (events, conventions, parties, etc.)
 * Did you know?/History - a box that will include anecdotes on past events, persons, or fictional references.

Also should include flags of the corresponding regions.

Fictional/virtual georegional portals
Covering Category:Multiplayer worlds Same as actual georegional portal components.
 * Islands and other places - a box that presents pictures and wikilinks to articles about in-world places and buildings.

Event-specific portals
Covering Category:Events.
 * Event highlights.
 * upcoming events.
 * Event organizers and non-profits.

Cultural/artistic portals
Covering Category:Culture.

Needed portal components throughout
Navigational footer templates are needed on all portals so as to interconnect all relevant articles.
