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 03:20, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New content was added to all article sections of the portal.

Minor changes

Per concerns about two articles that were being used in the portal that was expressed by a user at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Alaska, I have removed two entries from the portal: Polar bear and Steller sea lion (diff). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:55, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article list

The following is a list of articles presently being used in the portal. Article content is transcluded directly from articles using the {{Transclude random excerpt}} template. The use of transclusion provides WP:READERS with up-to-date, verbatim content to that which is in articles. This prevents content in the portal from becoming outdated, because when articles are updated, that same updated content is presented in the portal.
