message: When the Wikipedia:New Zealand Collaboration of the Fortnight starts, will it be possible to add Template:New Zealand Collaboration Notice to the portal, this produces 
Yes, It is bright and colourful, so the Colour might need to be toned/ changed to the Portal colour scheme, before it goes up. (or another template is made, with the portal colour scheme, and without the images, that could be done as the template is a self refence one anyway) Brian | (Talk) 08:57, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a link to the WikiProjects pane, and I'd be happy for that pane to link directly to the current collaboration, but I wouldn't want to see anything like that template on the portal. As a comparison, the Wikipedia:Goings on page advertises the various collaborations, but it does so with simple links, not bright banners. I have no problem with the banner being added to this talk page and updated each fortnight.-gadfium 09:57, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

text: I agree :) I did not meen for that banner to be added like that. More along the lines of Portal:New Zealand/COTF added to the WikiProjects panel. This produces:

message: At the moment I'm having problems with the portal viewing, I have an idea what may be causing it, I think it is using the  tags, I am going to experiment, but to do so I will have to save it.  If it does make it look better, than I will leave it, if it doesn't then I will revert it. --Midnighttonight 08:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It didn't work. Is anyone else experiencing viewing problems?  At the moment, the ITN starts below DYK with everything else on the right column below it screwy and the stuff at the bottom is screwy too.  I am out of ideas.  I use Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 on Windows XP SP2, on a 1024x726 sreen--Midnighttonight 08:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: okay, I add another </div> tag in there, and that sorted it out for me.  Can everyone else see the page properly? --Midnighttonight 08:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Yes, I could see a seriously screwed up layout. Purging the page cache fixed it. Somehow MediaWiki got a bad layout, and was continuing to serve that up even when the contents changed. There's a subtle little "purge cache" link at the bottom right of the page which fixed it. If you see similar problems on any other page, then press "edit this page", then change the url from "&action=edit" to "&action=purge" and press enter.-gadfium 08:56, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Since we've got several subpages of the portal I've created :Category:New Zealand Portal for them (if you're wondering about the naming, all of the portal categories are changing over to this new format rather than the old :Category:Portal:New Zealand style).

message: I am currently holding wikipedia.co.nz, wikipedia.org.nz, wikinews.co.nz, and wikinews.org.nz. I would like to transfer these domains to Wikipedia instead of risking them expiring and being taken. Who should I be talking to?CiaNZ 03:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Wikimedia Foundation (info@wikimedia.org) would probably be a good place to start. If they aren't the right address, they'll know who is. Grutness...wha? 05:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
