Changes to this page can only be made by administrators. To request a change be made to the portal, please use {{edit protected}} followed by your request to bring it to the attention of an administrator. Please update a day's current events by clicking on "Edit" in the header for that day.
In the news is preferably discussed in its own talk page, whereas matters in other subpages are preferably discussed here.

A recent change to the picture at Template:In the news caused the caption to go below the outline of the template, when displayed at full width. This caused the sidebar to move left out of the way. I have added a {{clear}} template to the bottom of Portal:Current events/Headlines, which seems to have fixed the issue, unless a different solution can be found. --Danski454 (talk) 09:46, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
