If going un-portal drops links, please don't do it! It doesn't sound like there has been enough study or playing around with both ways to truly decide? Moriss' idea of leaving the Portals as a Gate and having things behind the gate go UnPortal or SubPortal, <u>'''''if it truly will insure they are picked up by search engines ,'''''</u>sounds like an excellent combination of the ideas presented thus far. | If going un-portal drops links, please don't do it!

You are correct, as long as I understand what you were saying . . . links should not be broken no matter which direction we go. Obviously, all links generally cannot be fixed at the exact same time as an article name or namespace is changed. Also, it is reasonably likely that something will be missed. A major difficulty will especially be the current pseudo "breadcrumb trail" style of navigation that many pages use at this time. It has links on MANY, MANY pages. I believe someone was going to check into an automated way of handling these, but could be mistaken. | You are correct, as long as I understand what you were saying . . . links should not be broken no matter which direction we go.

By the way, I am not sure how I link the way the discussion is broken up here. It seems like it should be more by thread rather than by person. Maybe that was not the intent, but how it seems to have gone and I am propagating the wrong method. I know my initial comments covered several topics. | By the way, I am not sure how I link the way the discussion is broken up here. It seems like it should be more by thread rather than by person.

I am all for the UN-portal. Been waiting for the changeover since May 5 or was it 13th, day before the NGS conference. Lost links are easy to track down than you think and added back on the UnPortal page. Bread crumb trail is not a big deal when done right. | |||
