Wikinews:SectionMenu has been deprecated in favor of Wikinews:Browse.

Please be sparing with adding new topics! Stick to only the major ones, not "everything under the sun", to keep this page usable. Thanks! Dan100 (Talk) 10:21, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nice job Dan. → CGorman (Talk) 20:01, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Dates on stories?[edit]

Is it possible to put dates next to the regional stories? Smaller regions (eg New Zealand) only have a few stories and the latest ones are quite old. It would be nice to be able to see this without reading each one. Guest, 00:52 3 November 2005 (GMT)

More localer news[edit]

I agree with needing to keep it easy to browse, but what about having sections for very local news? For example, what if I want stories that might go under United States/Texas/Houston/The Heights (it's kind of a ward or borough of Houston)? I'm not going to go adding subtopics that are one of what could be a bajillion, but is there a reasonable solution for doing something like this? Jordanmills 17:10, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed change[edit]

If we do it in this format, it would look a lot better, and much more organized. Just my two cents. —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 01:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I have just changed the background color of the top part to green, to combat the problems associated with blue text on blue background (albeit different shades, they may pose a problem for the colorblind). —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 00:47, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on proposal[edit]

  • This looks like a good choice, from my point of view. The color choice should be checked for useability by people with vision limitations, and if it will work with other Wikinews color layouts. - Amgine/talk 05:09, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
I kinda like the colours in the class "toccolours". ( which I just previously applied without asking anyone - bad old me being bold) I really have to learn to propose stuff. but anyways this looks good. Bawolff ☺☻ 21:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you haven't seen Wikinews:Browse yet, I urge you to take a look at it. I hope in the future to replace SectionMenu with what I feel is the better solution. —THIS IS MESSEDOCKER (TALK) 13:45, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
