Selected image

As well as some new ones at commons, I think File:Castlefield at night.jpg is of befitting quality to be a selected picture on the portal. --Jza84 | Talk 16:28, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

News updates

Is the Greater Manchester in the news section of the portal only allowed to contain stuff that's featured on WP:ITN? If not, it's probably worth mentioning that the B of the Bang is being dismantled. Nev1 (talk) 17:02, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Peak District

Hi, I've just created a portal for the Peak District which may be of interest here. Do feel free to enhance it with new or improved articles or by adding to the links. --Bermicourt (talk) 17:16, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notice from the Portals WikiProject

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 07:31, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
