Delete subpage Portal:Slovenia/New article announcements, which has not recieved special attention since 2012. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 23:07, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – As this is a detailed page that has received a fair amount of edits, it may be better to tag the page atop with the {{historical}} template, which would serve to demonstrate the work that occurred to this aspect of the portal in the past, as well as to retain the page as a general historical reference.

Delete subpages of Portal:Sports/Selected picture, as they are no longer needed. The "Selected pictures" box for Portal:Sports is now generated by a single page: Portal:Sports/Selected picture. —⁠andrybak (talk) 14:29, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Ditto for subpages of Portal:Fish/Selected picture. —⁠andrybak (talk) 21:33, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Subpages of Portal:Russia/Selected picture, from Portal:Russia/Selected picture/5 till Portal:Russia/Selected picture/25 – they were replaced using {{Portal pictures}} or removed as off-topic, see Special:Diff/989855590/989955952 and Special:Diff/989956373. Note that subpages one through four are still in use. —⁠andrybak (talk) 23:57, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the previous discussions in 2019 it was understood that the exclusion of subpages must be by MfD. I believe that this section "Requests for Admin assistance " should be removed from this talk page.Guilherme Burn (talk) 12:02, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a link to that consensus? My view is that it's legitimate to request assistance for technical changes, such as when replacing Portal:Foo/Articles/1 to /99 by a template in Portal:Foo which produces similar excerpts, but not as part of demolishing a portal (for example, after quietly replacing its main page by a redirect to a broader portal). Certes (talk) 13:11, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the link, I can search for discussions, but this is unnecessary. @Certes: you are a witness, like me, of the thousands of excluded subpages that were restored. I think it is better not to repeat the same mistake again, or we exclude via MfD or leave them in limbo for a while.(Or we propose a new criterion for speed deletions)Guilherme Burn (talk) 14:01, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bug collection

This section is only for tracking bugs and feature requests, in the MediaWiki software itself, which affect portals. For general technical help with portals or portal-related templates, create a new section on this talk page.

Do not report new bugs or feature requests in this section – only list them here after a Phabricator task has been created.

T196723: Gallery slideshow flickers when changing images
T194887: Mode slideshow of gallery tag is not working in phone screens
T199126: Scribunto/Lua should have a built-in method for retrieving category members

Making Portal:Peace

Hi all, User:Hoary recommended I ask here:

I would love to make a new portal (for Portal:Peace) but I want to make sure I do so correctly as per WP:MOS.

I feel that a Peace portal is missing because it would connect such varied topics as conflict resolution, interfaith religions, environmental activism, lists of pacifists, pacifist religions, speaking truth to power, world anthems, and other previously disconnected topics. I can think of 10-15 articles and categories off the top of my head that would fit it. No similar portal exists; only a category.

Shall I achieve consensus for portal creation? Or can I just WP:BEBOLD and go for it?

If I just go for it, it would be too much to do in one session. So, would it be better to build it in chunks in draftspace, or publish it with an 'under construction' tag?

(WP:PORTAL doesn't contain the answers.)

Thank you all, Evedawn99 (talk) 01:58, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just joined the project and I hope we can make this one.★Trekker (talk) 19:42, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Curious about "Portal category list"

Hi, At Category:All portals it shows A, B, C, R, D, etc. Asking how/why does "Portal:Reformed Christianity" show up here, and out of sequence? I am clueless so asking here. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 19:06, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JoeNMLC, I have mentioned this at WP:VPT for wider attention. Thank you for reporting! —Kusma (talk) 11:00, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Thanks to all who helped. Cheers, JoeNMLC (talk) 14:13, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
