Question
Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals update #025, 30 Dec 2018
We can now crop the tops of pics to make banners
Before, we could only cut off the bottom of pics.
User:FR30799386 has pulled it off, and made the upgrade to {{Portal image banner}}...
So, this:
Becomes this:
Here's the code for the above banner:
{{Portal image banner|File:American Falls from Canadian side in winter.jpg | [[Niagara falls]], from the Canadian side |maxheight=175px |overflow=Hidden|croptop=10}}
To see it employed in a portal, check out Portal:Niagara Falls.
About that end of the year goal...
We were racing against time to create 5,000 portals by the end of the year (just for the heck of it).
We made it. We've passed the 5,000 portals mark, with time to spare!
And the 5,000th portal is Portal:Major League Baseball, by Happypillsjr.
Congratulations!
What's next?
The 10,000th portal mark. But...
...there is plenty else to do in addition to building new portals:
- The new portals need to be linked to from the encyclopedia.
- On those portals about subjects that are not typically capitalized, the search parameters need to be refined/expanded, to maximize the chances of Did you know and In the news items being found and displayed.
- A Recognized content section needs to be added to each portal that has a corresponding WikiProject.
- Addition of a category on those portals that lack a subject category.
- Implement the portal category system, adding the appropriate categories to each portal.
- Upgrade, and complete (as per the tasks enumerated above), the old-style portals that are not regularly maintained, which have not been converted yet (about 1,100 of them).
- Find and fix the remaining bugs in the underlying lua modules.
- Build portal tools (scripts) to assist in the creation, development, and maintenance of portals.
- Build a script to help build navbox footer templates, via the harvesting of categories, amongst other methods.
- Update the portal building instructions.
- Update the portal guideline.
- Refine the programming of the portals to reduce their load time.
- Design and develop the next generation of portals and portal components.
And whatever else you can dream up. ![]()
But most of all, have a...


Abyssal, thank you for your contributions to the Portals Project, and have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable New Year.

Update to scripts by AlexTheWhovian/Alex 21
Hello! This is a generic message created and copied to all editors using scripts that I have created. As I have recently changed my username from "User:AlexTheWhovian" to "User:Alex 21", any scripts that I have created that are listed at your common.js page may, at the moment, no longer be working. To fix this, simply update all occurrences of "User:AlexTheWhovian" to "User:Alex 21"; see here for an example. All the best! -- /Alex/21 11:02, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals update #026, 20 Jan 2019
Well, here's the first issue of the new year. Enjoy...
New participants
A hearty welcome to new arrivals to the portals department:
Harvesting categories tool prototype
DannyS712 has created a user script prototype, User:DannyS712/Cat links, that can pull members from a category, a functionality we've been after since the project's revamp last Spring. Now, it's a matter of applying this technique to scripts that will place the items where needed, such as with a section starter script and/or portal builder script.

What else is going on
There have been some discussions at Wikipedia talk:Portal guidelines.
DreamyJazz is working on a bot to place links to portals on root articles, category pages, and navigation footer templates.
Portal bugs are getting dealt with soon after they are reported.
Lots of wikignome activity (using Hotcat, etc.).
Keep up the good work. — The Transhumanist 08:32, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
Nomination of Astronomical bodies in pseudoscience and the paranormal for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Astronomical bodies in pseudoscience and the paranormal is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Astronomical bodies in pseudoscience and the paranormal until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. jps (talk) 16:04, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Portal styles
For a visually intensive portal, see Portal:Hummingbirds.
If you find any other portals that stand out, please send me the links so I can include them in the next issue. Thank you.
Conversion continues
There are about 1100 portals left in the old style, with subpages and static excerpts. As those are very labor intensive to maintain (because their maintenance is manual), all those except the ones with active maintainers (about 100) are slated for upgrade = approximately 1000. We started with 1500, and so over a quarter of them have been processed so far. That's good, but at this rate, conversion will take another 3 years. So, some automation (AWB?) is in order. We just need to keep at it, and push down on the gas pedal a bit harder.
You can find the old-style portals with an insource search of "box portal skeleton".
Flagship portals: the portals on the Main Page
Speaking of upgrades...
The following portals are listed in the header at the top of Wikipedia's Main Page, and get far more traffic than all other portals:
- Portal:Arts
- Portal:Biography
- Portal:Geography
- Portal:History
- Portal:Mathematics
- Portal:Science
- Portal:Society
- Portal:Technology
Of those, all but one have been revamped to an automated self-updating single-page design.
The remaining one, Portal:Mathematics has manual maintainers, and has been partially upgraded.
As these are our flagship fleet, they need to be kept in top-notch condition.
Check 'em out, and improve them if you can.

Deorphanizing the new portals
As you know, thousands of the new portals are orphans, that is, having no links to them from article space. For all practical purposes, that means they are not part of the encyclopedia yet, and readers will be unlikely to find them.
What is needed are links to these portals from the See also sections of the corresponding root articles.
Dreamy Jazz to the rescue...
Dreamy Jazz has created a bot to place the corresponding category link to the end of each portal (if it is missing), and place a link to each portal in the See also section of the corresponding root articles.
That bot, named User:Dreamy Jazz Bot, is currently in its trial period performing the above described edits!
To take a look at the edits it has made so far, see Special:Contributions/Dreamy_Jazz_Bot.
It shouldn't be long before the bot is processing the entire set of new portals.
Good news indeed.
Way to go, Dreamy Jazz!
And, that's a wrap
That's all I have to report this time around.
No doubt there will be more to tell soon.
Until then, — The Transhumanist 13:03, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals update #028, 04 Feb 2019
Here's a quicky status report:
- Old-style portals: 1,018
- Single-page portals: 4,367
- Total portals: 5,385
But of course, there has been more going on than just that...
Dreamy Jazz Bot is up and running!
Dreamy Jazz Bot has been approved and is now up and running.
What it does is places missing links to orphaned portals. It places a link in the See also section of the corresponding root article, and it puts one at the top of the corresponding category page.
We have thousands of new portals that have yet to be added to the encyclopedia proper, just waiting to go live.
When they do go live, over the coming days or weeks, due to Dreamy Jazz Bot, it will be like an explosion of new portals on the scene. We should expect an increase in awareness and interest in the portals project. Perhaps even new participants.
Get ready...
Get set...
Go!
Another sockpuppet infiltrator has been discovered

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals update #029, 13 Feb 2019
Where we are at:
- Single-page portals: 4,704
- Total portals: 5,705
The Ref desks survived the proposal to shut them down
You might be familiar with the Ref desks, by their link on every new portal. They are a place you can go to ask volunteers almost any knowledge-related question, and have been a feature of Wikipedia since August of 2005 (or perhaps earlier). They were linked to from portals in an effort to improve their visibility, and to provide a bridge from the encyclopedia proper to project space (the Wikipedia community).
Well, somebody proposed that we get rid of them, and the community decided that that was not going to happen. Thank you for defending the Ref desks!
Here's a link to the dramatic discussion:
The cleanup after sockpuppet Emoteplump continues...
The wake of disruption left by Emoteplump and the admins who reverted many (but not all) of his/her edits is still undergoing cleanup. We could use all the help we can get on this task...
Almost all of the speedy deleted portals have been rebuilt from scratch.
For the portals he/she restarted (many of which were done mistakenly, overwriting restarts and further development that had already been done), and/or tagged as the maintainer, see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Emoteplump&oldid=881568794#Additional_Portals_under_my_watch
10,000 portals, here we come...
We're at 5,705 portals and counting.

Prior to 2018, for the previous 14 years, portal creation was at about 80 portals per year on average. We did over 3 times that in just the past 9 days. At this rate, we'll hit the 10,000 portal mark in 5 months. But, I'm sure we can do it sooner than that.
What's next for portal pages?
There are 5 drives for portal development:
- Create new portals
- Expand existing portals, such as with new sections like Recognized content
- Convert or restart old-style portals into automated single-page portals
- Link to new portals from the encyclopedia
- Pageless portals
Let's take a closer look at these...
1: Creating new portals
Portal creation, for subjects that happen to have the necessary support structures already in place, is down to about a minute per portal. The creation part, which is automated, takes about 10 seconds. The other 50 seconds is taken up by manual activities, such as finding candidate subjects, inspecting generated portals, and selecting the portal creation template to be used according to the resources available. Tools are under development to automate these activities as much as possible, to pare portal creation time down even more. Ten seconds each is the goal.
Eventually, we are going to run out of navigation templates to base portals off of. Though there are still thousands to go. But, when they do run out, we'll need an easy way to create more. A nav footer creation script.
Meanwhile, other resources are being explored and developed, such as categories, and methods to harvest the links they contain.
2: Expanding existing portals
The portal collection is growing, not only by the addition of new portals, but by further developing the ones we already have, by...
- Improving and/or adding search parameters to better power the Did you know and In the news sections.
- Adding more selected content sections, like Selected biographies.
- Adding and maintaining Recognized content sections, via JL-Bot.
- Adding pictures to the image slideshow.
- Adding panoramic pics.
- Categorizing portals.
More features will be added as we dream them up and design them. So, don't be shy, make a wish.
3: Converting old portals
By far the hardest and most time-consuming task we have been working on is updating the old portals, the very reason we revamped this WikiProject in the first place.
There are two approaches here:
- A) Restart a portal from scratch, using our automated tools. For basic no-frills portals, that works find. But, for more elaborate portals, as that tends to lose content and features, the following approach is being tried...
- B) Upgrade a portal section by section, so little to nothing is lost in the process.
4: Linking to new portals
Or "portal deorphanization"...
Dreamy Jazz Bot is purring along.
And a tool in the form of a script is under development for linking to portals at the time they are created, or shortly thereafter.
5...
See below...
New WikiProject for the post-saved-portal phase of operations...
Saved portals, are portals with a saved page.
What is the next stage in the evolutionary progression?
Quantum portals.
What are quantum portals?
Portals that come into existence when you click on the portal button, and which disappear when you leave the page.
Or, as Pbsouthwood put it:
...portals that exist only as a probability function (algorithm) until you collapse the wave form by observing through the portal button (run the script), and disappear again after use...

Goliathoceras
Hi Abyssal,
Can you tell me, if the genus Goliathoceras exist? I have this 2 pictures: File:Pu - Goliathoceras sp. - 1.jpg and File:Pu - Goliathoceras sp. - 2.jpg with the Unidentified Goliathoceras sp. in the Rotunda Museum, Scarborough, England. description. But neither here and neither on Google, I don't find any information about it. Meanwhile perhaps became a synonym of another genusname? Regards. DenesFeri (talk) 09:51, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals update #031, 01 May 2019
Back to the drawing board
Implementation of the new portal design has been culled back almost completely, and the cull is still ongoing. The cull has also affected portals that existed before the development of the automated design.
Some of the reasons for the purge are:
- Portals receive insufficient traffic, making it a waste of editor resources to maintain them, especially for narrow-scope or "micro" portals
- The default {{bpsp}} portals are redundant with the corresponding articles, being based primarily on the corresponding navigation footer displayed on each of those articles, and therefore not worth separate pages to do so
- They were mass created
Most of the deletions have been made without prejudice to recreation of curated portals, so that approval does not need to be sought at Deletion Review in those cases.
In addition to new portals being deleted, most of the portals that were converted to an automated design have been reverted.
Which puts us back to portals with manually selected content, that need to be maintained by hand, for the most part, for the time being, and back facing some of the same problems we had when we were at this crossroads before:
- Manually maintained portals are not scalable (they are labor intensive, and there aren't very many editors available to maintain them)
- The builders/maintainers tend to eventually abandon them
- Untended handcrafted portals go stale and fall into disrepair over time
These and other concepts require further discussion. See you at WT:POG.
However, after the purge/reversion is completed, some of the single-page portals might be left, due to having acceptable characteristics (their design varied some). If so, then those could possibly be used as a model to convert and/or build more, after the discussions on portal creation and design guidelines have reached a community consensus on what is and is not acceptable for a portal.
See you at WT:POG.
Curation
A major theme in the deletion discussions was the need for portals to be curated, that is, each one having a dedicated maintainer.
There are currently around 100 curated portals. Based on the predominant reasoning at MfD, it seems likely that all the other portals may be subject to deletion.
See you at WT:POG.
Traffic
An observation and argument that arose again and again during the WP:ENDPORTALS RfC and the ongoing deletion drive of {{bpsp}} default portals, was that portals simply do not get much traffic. Typically, they get a tiny fraction of what the corresponding like-titled articles get.
And while this isn't generally considered a good rationale for creation or deletion of articles, portals are not articles, and portal critics insist that traffic is a key factor in the utility of portals.
The implication is that portals won't be seen much, so wouldn't it be better to develop pages that are?
And since such development isn't limited to editing, almost anything is possible. If we can't bring readers to portals, we could bring portal features, or even better features, to the readers (i.e., to articles)...
Some potential future directions of development
Quantum portals?
An approach that has received some brainstorming is "quantum portals", meaning portals generated on-the-fly and presented directly on the view screen without any saved portal pages. This could be done by script or as a MediaWiki program feature, but would initially be done by script. The main benefits of this is that it would be opt-in (only those who wanted it would install it), and the resultant generated pages wouldn't be saved, so that there wouldn't be anything to maintain except the script itself.
Non-portal integrated components
Another approach would be to focus on implementing specific features independently, and provide them somewhere highly visible in a non-portal presentation context (that is, on a page that wasn't a portal that has lots of traffic, i.e., articles). Such as inserted directly into an article's HTML, as a pop-up there, or as a temporary page. There are scripts that use these approaches (providing unrelated features), and so these approaches have been proven to be feasible.
What kind of features could this be done with?
The various components of the automated portal design are transcluded excerpts, news, did you know, image slideshows, excerpt slideshows, and so on.
Some of the features, such as navigation footers and links to sister projects are already included on article pages. And some already have interface counterparts (such as image slideshows). Some of the rest may be able to be integrated directly via script, but may need further development before they are perfected. Fortunately, scripts are used on an opt-in basis, and therefore wouldn't affect readers-in-general and editors-at-large during the development process (except for those who wanted to be beta testers and installed the scripts).
The development of such scripts falls under the scope of the Javascript-WikiProject/Userscript-department, and will likely be listed on Wikipedia:User scripts/List when completed enough for beta-testing. Be sure to watchlist that page.
Where would that leave curated portals?
Being curated. At least for the time being.
New encyclopedia program features will likely eventually render most portals obsolete. For example, the pop-up feature of MediaWiki provides much the same functionality as excerpts in portals already, and there is also a slideshow feature to view all the images on the current page (just click on any image, and that activates the slideshow). Future features could also overlap portal features, until there is nothing that portals provide that isn't provided elsewhere or as part of Wikipedia's interface.
But, that may be a ways off. Perhaps months or years. It depends on how rapidly programmers develop them.
Keep on keepin' on
The features of Wikipedia and its articles will continue to evolve, even if Portals go by the wayside. Most, if not all of portals' functionality, or functions very similar, will likely be made available in some form or other.
And who knows what else?
No worries.
Until next issue... — The Transhumanist 00:13, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Further Portal Userfication?
Hello A, would you like me to userfy the remaining portals that you worked on and that are not yet at MfD, as we did for User:Abyssal/Prehistory of Asia and the other "Prehistory of . . . " portals, so that you can work on building them out in your userspace and not have to worry about them being brought to MfD and risk being deleted? Let me know. UnitedStatesian (talk) 16:29, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- @UnitedStatesian: Yes please. Abyssal (talk) 16:30, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- I have done User:Abyssal/Portal:Cambrian, User:Abyssal/Portal:Ediacaran, User:Abyssal/Portal:Ichthyosauromorpha, User:Abyssal/Portal:Lepidosauria, User:Abyssal/Portal:Mosasaurs, and User:Abyssal/Portal:Sauropterygians; I will do the rest in the next day or so; will let you know when complete. Would also encourage you to !vote Userfy to User:Abyssal at the current MfDs if you want the same done to those portals. UnitedStatesian (talk) 17:09, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
Portal links
Hi,
I've been going through the Redirect special page trying to fix broken links and I've stumbled upon this link which apparently you've redirected to Portal:Cambrian/Topics. Note that, that particular page apparently according to the deletion log was moved to User:Abyssal/Portal:Cambrian/Topics could you kindly fix the first link redirect page here so that it'll redirect to User:Abyssal/Portal:Cambrian/Topics.

Lower Khodzhaosmansk Formation/Khodzhaosmansk Formation
Is it safe to assume these are the same formation? If so, which is the more correct name to merge them under? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 16:31, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Premeditated Chaos: Yeah, it should be safe to merge the former into the latter. Abyssal (talk) 16:35, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Cheers :) I'm clearing out the orphan bin by category and today's lucky winner is Category:Paleontological site stubs, so you'll probably see me puttering about all over your watchlist for a bit. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 16:38, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Premeditated Chaos:Awesome. Have fun. Abyssal (talk) 16:44, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Another one - is Tujingzi Formation the same as Tuchengzi Formation? Tuchengzi Formation mentions some remains found in Hebei, and Tujingzi Formation says it is in Hebei. Both have similar sounding names, but the Weishampel ref gives different pages, so I'm not 100% sure. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 17:06, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Premeditated Chaos:Awesome. Have fun. Abyssal (talk) 16:44, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Premeditated Chaos:I'm not sure. A Google Scholar search turned up only one reference to a Tujingzi Formation in the literature since 2010. This was supposedly a Late Cretaceous unit. There were 300 plus references to the Tuchengzi Formation, which is supposedly Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous in age. It's possible that the Tujingzi reference just used outdated spelling/dating information or something but I don't really feel like we can confirm this one way or the other.

Synonymous articles?
Hello Abyssal, the Paleobiology Database on Fossilworks lists several synonyms for the extinct frog genus Liaobatrachus for which two other Wikipedia articles also exist (Callobatrachus, Mesophryne). Given your editing history on those articles, is this information correct? I am not sure what reliability we assign to the PaleoDB for classification of taxa. If the three genera are indeed synonymous then a merge would be in order. Your thoughts? Loopy30 (talk) 19:22, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
@Loopy30:I honestly have no idea. I haven't done anything related to prehistoric amphibians in years. I'm not really qualified to weigh in on potentially contentious taxonomic issues. Abyssal (talk) 19:24, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Question
I was looking through a specific category when I noticed Draft:Timeline of Dinosaur Park Formation paleontology. This draft was created in 2014 and since August 2018 it's not really improved. Are you planning on coming back to getting it ready for Article space? I ask because (as I can see numerous times on your page) you've recieved information about Draft Namespace not being a permanant repository of content unfit for Article space. Upon further review I see that all the references are to the same two authors, so I'm inclined to believe that this would not survive in Aricle space. Unless I hear otherwise from you in the next 14 days, I intend to take this to MFD as an abandoned draft that has significant problems that would prevent it from being promoted to mainspace.

Please don't ...
... misuse {{coord}} templates, even in sandboxes. If more than one |display=title parameter is included on a page, the page is added to Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags and unnecessarily makes it harder for editors to spot mainspace pages that need fixing. When you're just playing with location maps, the coordinates for the displayed pushpins will work without any |display= fields at all. Deor (talk) 21:35, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Deor:The coord templates in my userspace are copy-pastes from the main articles, so any errors are presumably duplicated from the source. I did a ctrl-f and couldn't find any use of a "display" field, so I'm not sure what is necessary to remove the code that's causing you problems. Abyssal (talk) 21:54, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Prehistoric life of Ecuador
Today I looked at your userpage subdirectory User:Abyssal/List of the prehistoric life of Ecuador and was puzzled as to wjy every entry has a † before it. You use the dagger next to Conus and Engina. Those aren't extinct taxa, they're snail genera that are still common today. Khemehekis (talk) 11:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Khemehekis:There were enough errors or misformatted data with the extinction field in the Paleobiology Database that it was easier to tag everything as extinct at first and remove the dagger symbol later. Luckily the vast majority of errors of that sort can be done through semi-automated processes and the few remaining ones can be removed individually when spotted.

Deletion of old geo stubs?
I was looking at List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Kansas, List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Colorado, ect.
I have noticed some links that I think resulted from deletions or draftifies. Under the assumption that when you created the lists, you had already made the stub, and so, Cass Limestone existed at that time.
Unless, you created the lists first, then created the stubs, but never actually made Cass Limestone, or D Sandstone.

- Cass Limestone doesn't seem to have ever been deleted and isn't in my user space, so it's probably free if you're interested in starting it. Abyssal (talk) 04:19, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Federal subjects of Russia image map

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Template:Federal subjects of Russia image map requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 November 24#Template:Cambodian Provinces Image Map. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Thamnoseris
There was an article about a monotypic plant genus at Thamnoseris. Its sole species is now placed in Sonchus, so the article is now at Sonchus laceratus, with Thamnoseris a redirect to this article. However, I found there were links from articles to Thamnoseris that were wrong, since they were meant for an extinct coral genus. I changed them to ''[[Thamnoseris (coral)|Thamnoseris]]''. There are many such links in your "User:Abyssal/List of the prehistoric life of ..." pages (see here). It may perhaps be better to change the plant redirect to "Thamnoseris (plant)" and leave the coral genus link at "Thamnoseris" – what do you think? Peter coxhead (talk) 15:11, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, I've created a sub-stub at Thamnoseris as a place holder for the extinct coral genus, and moved the plant genus redirect to Thamnoseris (plant). The coral genus article could do with some work, but it's not an area I usually work in. Peter coxhead (talk) 15:59, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
