Title says it all: Change section into portals. I've been experimenting with portal templates and I think the section pages would work well with them. Decapitalize section and category names, such as Main Page -> Main page, Home Entertainment -> Home entertainment, Community Portal -> Community portal, etc. Rename Movie section into Film section. "Movie" usually refers to feature-length films, and I think "Film" would encompass more topics that "Movie" does not, including newsreel logos (which I had difficulty trying to decide which section these would belong to), war and propaganda film logos, and educational film logos. Speaking of educational films... Remove the "Education" section. Like the now-gone family & education section, education is just a genre, and I think many of them can go to the Film section (if "Movies" is renamed to that), as well as the Home entertainment and Video game section. Which brings me to... Rename Video Games to Video game and amusement section. I had difficulty trying to decide where pachinko logos would belong, since they're not exactly video games, and I don't think making a pachinko section is necessary since they only exist in Japan. I think "Video game and amusement" would also fit console logos (which are not VG logos). Split off station IDs from television logo pages and creating a station ID portal/section page (this would also replace the space left by the Education section). I still think station IDs belong here rather than CB Wiki since they share a lot more in common with logos than stuff like warnings and FP screens, but they're definitely distinct from closing logos. This would take time to split since a lot of the PBS pages here have the IDs and closing logos/endcaps combined, but it's possible. Example, there would be two pages for WGBH, "WGBH" and "WGBH IDs" (each would be linked together with About or Redirect templates). The "Television IDs" category would be renamed as "Station IDs" to avoid confusion Revamp the category naming system: Instead of "American Television IDs", it would be "Station IDs from the United States", or "British Television Logos" to "Television logos from the United Kingdom", or "Japanese-Korean Movie Logos" to "Film logos from Japanese Korea" (I had difficulty on deciding a name for this particular category, since Japanese-Korean Logos could also mean companies owned by both Japan and Korea, which there are a few). This should be easy to do since we have Special:ReplaceText. What do you think?
