Status report from the Portals WikiProject
Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.
Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.
As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. — The Transhumanist 03:25, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
Converted
I have completely redone the portal and formatted it. Any assistance please do ask. JLJ001 (talk) 17:31, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Portal:Berkshire is one of several portals that "feed" (or "fed") Portal:South East England. P:SEE selects one of its sub-portals at random, then selects one of that portal's selected articles, using the old subpage model. So if we're going convert these portals to use {{transclude lead excerpt}} we need to consider a way to make that work for P:SEE too, not make unilateral changes to individual portals. Have you considered this, JLJ001? My other comment would be that the portal now looks like a mixture of a portal and a WikiProject page; it's confusing. WaggersTALK 12:05, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- It will have to look into that feed feature, since I was not aware that was happening with this portal. It seems a novel idea worth keeping operational. Regarding the wikiproject look, that is 100% intentional, the idea is that the wikiproject becomes part of the portal, as part of the "bridging the gap between reading and editing". What do you think? JLJ001 (talk)
- @Waggers: Ergo I will make sure I fix the feed to Portal:South East England, but is the layout ok? JLJ001 (talk) 12:37, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- @JLJ001: I wasn't sure at first but it's growing on me. :) I'm trying to look at it from the point of view of a reader, who's never edited Wikipedia before. I like the list of discussions being there - it shows that discussions happen and that's potentially a way of drawing people in who want to contribute but are scared to edit an article directly. I'm not so sure about the list of members being at the top - that makes sense for a project but less so for the portal.
- On the feed thing, I'm wondering if we can get away with having the article list as a subpage - literally:
|Reading, Berkshire
|Kennet and Avon Canal
|Slough
|Windsor Castle
- and use that in {{transclude random excerpt}}. Then each portal can link to it's own list and P:SEE itself could link to all of them. I'll have a play with that idea in my sandbox sometime, unless you beat me to it! WaggersTALK 21:28, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
