Nobots[edit]
(See also Portal talk:Current events/Archive 7) The nobots template was added to this page to prevent interwiki-bots from updating it, back when the syntax was different, and the page unprotected (and when we had interwikis and interwiki bots).
Now those things have changed, can we remove the template? All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 03:17, 20 April 2014 (UTC).

Someone has put a huge entry above the main current events about some energy company. I tried to remove it but I can seem to edit that part of the page and I tried to revert the edit using the page history but it wasn't there. I think an admin needs to step in here.

- @Elspooky: Someone had damaged today's sub-page, Portal:Current events/2015 May 25, which is not protected. It's been fixed. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:12, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
Filtered Search/View[edit]
It is exciting to see the growing level of quality content in the current event section. But as this continues to grow I think it would be very valuable to have the option to have a filtered search or filtered view of the content.
For example for me the "Business and economy" and "International relations" sections are critical for what I do, and I want to make sure I have at least seen those headlines on a daily basis. But some of the other sections such as Sports and Science are things that I find interesting, but really only need to scan through on a weekly basis. The content is already subdivided by section, how difficult would it be to develop in a sort feature?

- I like the idea of have some sort of sort feature, but I am not sure how difficult such an implementation would be, so I can't really say whether or not this idea is practical. Dustin (talk) 16:30, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm using this page in my user space for a summary page I created. Which has the side-effect of including my user page in the 2015 category.
I'd like to do this without my user page being included in those categories, this can be done by wrapping the [[Category:*]] tags in <noinclude> tags. See Wikipedia:Transclusion#Markup. Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 08:28, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- Your user space page is not suitable for transclusion into this page.-gadfium 09:42, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- I think you're misunderstanding what I'm asking for. I'm not asking for my user page to be transcluded into this page. I'm asking for an otherwise harmless edit to be done to this page so that my user-space transclusion of it doesn't impact the category system. That's all.
- Adding the <noinclude> tags I'm asking for has no negative impact on this page, since nothing else transcludes it, and allows me to maintain my summary page in my user-space without having it be in categories like Category:2015.
- I think this is a reasonable edit to make, so I'm re-opening the request. For what it's worth I'm using my user-space page as a sort of browser homepage for what's going on in the world, but I want something more specific than the main page and with more information the current events portal all by itself. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 09:36, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- As you probably realise portals are not really designed for transclusion, but I've made the change as it will do no harm. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:48, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot! --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 10:27, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Editing[edit]
How do I get to edit this page?--Sirmagoo (talk) 12:56, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Sirmagoo: Although most of the page is protected from editing, each day's news has its own "edit" link to the right of the date. -- John of Reading (talk) 14:44, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
