Question: Should wikiproject Veterinary medicine also be added to the list of affiliated wikiprojects? Montanabw^(talk) 04:02, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oooh, yeah. Completely forgot about that one. And perhaps WP:Agriculture? Will get on that now... Dana boomer (talk) 11:02, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Horse racing[edit]

Hi, Portal:Horse racing is up and running if you wouldn't mind adding it to your related portals box. Thank You Joe I 23:31, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Searchme, can you PLEASE not put that portal in the article namespace? If you want it transcluded on the WPEQ template (that goes on TALK PAGES), take it to WPEQ talk and we can discuss that there. But for now, I have removed it from the articles where you placed it because it clutters things up and, frankly, sometimes isn't suitable (particuarly when Portal:Horses isn't on the main article page). If you must put it up, then please put in on the talk pages for now. Also, maybe get it transcluded onto the Thoroughbred Racing WikiProject's template too.

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 07:32, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
