Notice from the Portals WikiProject
[edit]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, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
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. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:46, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Please be advised: potential transcription errors in conversion of medal counts to templates
[edit]On 27 Sep 2018 and adjacent days, User:Zackmann08 converted the medal counts that appear in many articles, especially for multi-sport events, to a templatized version. I have checked two of the many template conversions this user performed on that day. Both have had multiple errors, which I have now corrected. Although this is a small sample size, please be advised to check any "Games" articles that have a medal count. Jeff in CA (talk) 21:39, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
How to add new selected pictures very fast
[edit]The selected picture section of the portal has been overhauled using template {{Portal pictures}}. To add another picture to the selection, only POTD date is needed. No need to copy-paste captions, no need to fill out a layout template, no need to increase |max= when a new numbered subpage is added. Just add a date. You can also use the search box on the subpage to find other appropriate pictures. —andrybak (talk) 16:06, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
