About the move
[edit]First great job with the portal. ..... I had to re-create Portal:Sports and games and make a redirect to the new portal page (it was just deleted) - Because its linked from thousands of pages that had a red link to nothing. We will have to change thousands of links (the code) from {{Portal:Sports and games}} to {{Portal:Sports}}. All the pages that have the portal template and Wikiproject banners will have to be fixed before Portal:Sports and games is deleted outright. We will also have to fix many sub-pages like Template:Portal/Images/Sports and games. I have also moved Portal:Sports/browsebar to Template:Sports browsebar as this is actually the banner used on all the sport portals as a header.Moxy (talk) 08:25, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
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 07:46, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Merger proposal
[edit]The Portal:Games is an abandoned portal under construction, and can be deleted at any time. I suggest moving Portal:Sports to Portal:Sports and games and merging game content into this one.Guilherme Burn (talk) 12:01, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. I think that the distinction between sports and games is a useful one, and that merger would be a bad idea, even if Portal:Games is deleted. I particularly dislike the idea of dumping the stale content forks from an abandoned portal into a good portal. That's just pollution. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:23, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per BrownHairedGirl. Most games are not considered sports, and conflation of topics more often leads to confusion than to clarity. I have no objection to content from Portal:Games beign repurposed for another portal, if that content is clearly relevant to the target portal, and if that content is vetted for quality and correctness, and kept up-to-date. bd2412 T 16:42, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. Per reasons listed by bd2412 T.--Ghinga7 (talk) 17:52, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
