There seems to be some back-and-forth as to whether a certain category of news is "Business and Economy" or "Business and Economics". First, which is it? Second, is there a definitive list of categories used here? Thanks. --Christofurio (talk) 14:51, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
An IP has attempted to add a "Recent Births" section to the sidebar. I don't think this is a good idea, as there have been only two notable births so far this year, and only two in the whole of 2015. I undid the edit, but if anyone disagrees with me then go ahead and put it back. The IP's edit was missing an end-of-table marker somewhere, but that's easily fixed. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:25, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
I scan through this page quite frequently (just about every workday morning) and a feature that came to mind that would be very useful would be the option to filter the types of stories that show up based upon the categories they fall under. For example, it would be very nice to have the option to be able to show/hide all of the "Armed conflicts and attacks" or "Arts and culture" articles most days so that I can focus in on other key topics of interest. I don't know how easy or not this would be to implement, but if it would not be too difficult to implement then it would make the site even better then the goodness it already is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.56.232 (talk) 14:04, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Under the "Business" section of "Current events", for formality I think [[Brexit]] should be changed to [[United Kingdom withdrawal from the European Union]]. This is the term being used for the article title, and would therefore appear to be suitable. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 20:47, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
On June 30, 2016, Portal:Current events will turn 10 years old. Any plans for this? Should a banner appear on the portal for knowing that it turns 10? GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:38, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
