How do I modify the Topics section of the portal?

- This will show the content of your Topics-template at at the bottom of the page, as follows:
- Nuovi traduttori · Linee guida: osservazioni generali
- Accenti · Punteggiatura · Dizionari, Vocabolari, Grammatica · Altre osservazioni · Riferimenti socio-culturali · I tranelli della lingua · Gli errori più frequenti

How do I create an extra "Quote" for the portal?
Adding the extra quote
- Go to the page Portal:Italiano/Quotes.
- You will see the existing quotes. To create a new one, click on the first red link to a subpage template (it is very important that it is the template, not the page). For the 16th subpage, it looks like this: Template:Portal:Italiano/Quotes/16.
- Clicking on the red link will create the page for you. On this page, insert the following:
- {{cquote|Text of the quote|||Who said it?|Where?}}
- Example:
- {{cquote|If language really is the conduit of our cooperation, the technology that our species derived to promote the free flow and exchange of ideas, in our modern world, we confront a question. And that question is whether in this modern, globalized world we can really afford to have all these different languages.|||Mark Pagel, TED Speaker|[http://www.ted.com/talks/mark_pagel_how_language_transformed_humanity.html How language transformed humanity]}}
- Result:
“ | If language really is the conduit of our cooperation, the technology that our species derived to promote the free flow and exchange of ideas, in our modern world, we confront a question. And that question is whether in this modern, globalized world we can really afford to have all these different languages. | ” |
