Portal talk:Utah

Mahalo ā nui loa! Maikai loa
Aloha kākou! I want to send a warm mahalo to all who contributed to this portal and helped it acheive it's featured portal status. I recently created the Hawaii Portal and I used this portal as a guide. I didn't know the first thing about creating portals and in my opinion, I did a pretty good job getting the Hawaii portal started. I do not want to forget to mention that I had help from two other individuals, Viriditas and Krindog. Again, mahalo ā nui loa for the inspiration. Kanaka maoli i puuwai 20:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Notice 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, 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,    &mdash; The Transhumanist   07:49, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
