Status report from the Portals WikiProject[edit]

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.

2020 overhaul[edit]

The "Selected pictures" box has been overhauled using Template:Portal pictures. —⁠andrybak (talk) 14:20, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The "Selected articles" box has been automated using WP:RECOG. See Portal:Arthropods/Recognized content. —⁠andrybak (talk) 14:55, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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) 16:12, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
