Portal talk:Dogs/to do

left Recommendations to improve page to featured portal status

List includes recommendations with replies/status.

Rotate articles and pictures on monthly/fortnightly basis.
No change. Because the Selected article, Selected picture and Selected breed all use a randomized presentation design, item rotation is automatic and all items always are in play. Consequently, rotation timetables are not necessary. Readers also can refresh the items displayed by clicking the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portal:Dogs&action=purge Show another article, picture, breed] link below the introduction. The redundant link at the bottom of the page was removed. A randomized version for DYK is in the works.
