:Strange, I haven't gotten emails about edits to SN for ages, luckily I just saw it in recent changes. Moderators should ''definetly'' have access to SN, so they do need to be able to edit semi-protected pages. But have you gotten Wikia to change our permissions settings? Because by default all registered users can edit semi-protected pages, but in our case that's just useless because we don't allow unregistered users to edit anyway, so you're right, it would be best in my opinion to give moderators the ability to edit semi-protected pages and take it away from the 'Users' group.

If they still can't edit this page now (which is only semi-protected, so every registered user can edit), then the problem is that it is in the 'Grand Theft Wiki' namespace, which I believe is admins-only. I could move this page into another namespace (or even just to the talk page here) so that everyone (including moderators) can edit, and instead just put up a little sign saying don't edit this? I will ask about modifying the semi-protected status. [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 09:58, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

:I don't even think most users know about the portals, and I think they ''definently'' need some work. For example, why do they list the forums? They even show the forums that have nothing to do with the topic of that portal (for example, the GTA IV portal shows the [[Forum:Saving in GTA1|Saving in GTA1 forum]]). A better way of doing that would be instead of automatically listing every forum like the actual forum categories do (like [[Forum:GTA]] etc), regularly update it manually with links to new forums about the subject. As for fixing them up, I will have a look at what I can do some time soon.

Fixing them up would be good. And a list of relevant forum topics would be good - all I've done is just create them with some basic info, giving us a starting point. When they are fixed up, we can make them more prominent on the homepage. I think they are a better place for users to start than just pointing them to [[:Category:Vehicles]] or whatever.
