 * Most gameshots would not be considered free media and such images cannot be included in portals. H.dryad (talk) 00:29, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Non-existent pages triggering errors
Hi, this is a message for the admins or the editors dedicated to the portal. Note that some of the elements in the portal aren't showing properly. --Canopus49 - Replies here  20:07, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Status report from the Portals WikiProject
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.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. &mdash; The Transhumanist  03:20, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Portal updated
This portal has been updated and expanded:
 * Overhauled portal with modernized wiki markup using transclusion from articles to display content, which provides readers with current, up-to-date information. Article content from various portal subpages was moved directly into the portal using transclusions.
 * New content was also added to all article sections of the portal.
 * Additional updates, cleanup and layout changes have been performed.
 * A new General images section was added. Images are located at Portal:1980s/General images. North America1000 06:04, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Articles
The following articles are presently being displayed in the portal using transclusion from articles. Consensus at VPP has approved using transclusion templates in portals, which provides users with up-to-date content that is verbatim to that in articles.

Portal repeating text
There seems to be an issue where a chunk of the text repeats, the first time without citations. I checked on mobile and desktop view, but it could be an issue on my side of things. 73.254.188.168 (talk) 22:16, 11 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for reporting the problem. The portal includes the current version of the lead of 1980s.  For some reason, the portal also contained a copy of an older version of 1980s, which I have now removed.  Like most portals, citations are left in the main article and not copied into the portal.
