ANother place to look through is
Speculative fiction/Fantasy
A curious thing I just noticed. If I applied {{Portal|Speculative fiction/Fantasy}}
to an article, it displays a puzzle piece icon, but clicking on the link goes directly to the Fantasy tab of Portal:Speculative fiction without any redirect.
If instead, I was to apply {{Portal|Fantasy}}
to an article (per P:Fantasy shortcut), it displays a hooded figure icon, but uses a redirect to send me to

Speculative fiction/Science fiction
As a followup to my previous observation, I've discovered that Portal:Speculative fiction/Science fiction isn't linking correctly. When Science fiction
is added to a portal list on an article, it links to the Portal page via a redirect. The shortcut at the top-right of the Portal page says P:SCIFI
, but that shortcut is ignored when added to a portal list, and thus fails to display on articles. I'll give an example... Star Trek: The Motion Picture#See also.

Portal Layout problem
This portal is the first page I've found on Wikipedia which is not 'Android friendly'. I think the problem may lie in the first image, which is wider (in pixels) than a modern phone. The image cannot be made smaller with a pinch. Viewing it in landscape mode works 112.141.104.155 (talk) 04:03, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- There's not much that can be done about that. Sorry. ···Join WP Japan! 18:09, 1 February 2022 (UTC)]
- I have the same problem, whether I open it in the browser or the app. It seems a bit strange that this should be the only page (possibly) on Wikipedia that cannot be read comfortably on a phone. If it is the image, let's change it: it is not vital to recognising or understanding the portal. If it is the row of buttons at the foot of the image, they should be made responsive so they can wrap round on smaller screens.
- @Nihonjoe:, I appreciate that it has been this way since you redesigned the page in January 2010, and it looks fine. However, technology has moved on, and we ought to make sure that this page is accessible to allcomers. It seems inappropriate for the Speculative Fiction Portal, of all pages, to say 'nothing can change'! -- Verbarson talkedits 19:23, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

- I've tweaked a few things. It works fine in landscape mode. ···Join WP Japan! 17:12, 13 June 2022 (UTC)]
- By "technology has moved on" I just meant that many more people are reading Wikipedia on mobile devices these days.
- I'll freely admit that I do not understand how the portal page is constructed. However, I don't see that the size of the image - from the left of the 'P' to the right of the 'L' - is the limiting factor. When I go onto the mobile site, but on my laptop, I can shrink it down until the buttons refuse to get smaller or closer together, and they are what define the minimum width of the page.
- And if it is the image that fixes it, can we really not have a smaller one? It's fine as an image, it just needs a smaller version for narrower screens.
- I'll stop going on about it now. If no-one else is bothered, I won't let it spoil my day! -- Verbarson talkedits 19:21, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
