Portals WikiProject update #020, 12 Oct 2018
Whew, a lot has been happening.

A bit of defending of the portals has been needed. But, most activity recently has been directed upon maintenance and development of existing portals.

The majority of portals now use the new design, about 2400 of them, leaving around 1200 portals that still employ the old style.

Many thanks to those who participated in the discussions.

To watch for future MfD's, keep in mind that the Portals WikiProject is supported by automatic alerts. You can see them at: WikiProject Portals

Creation criteria
There was also some discussion of creation criteria for portals. The result was that one of the participants in the discussion reverted the portal guidelines to the old version, which has the minimum number of articles for a portal included in there: "about 20 articles", a guideline that was in place since 2009.

Many of the portals that existed prior to April 2018 do not have that many (being limited to however many subpages the portal creator created), and therefore, these portals need to be upgraded to the new design (which automatically provides many articles for display). Using the new design, exceeding 20 articles for display is very easy.

Linking to the new portals
Efforts have been underway to place links to new portals (all 2200 of them created since April).


 * 1) Link (portal button) from corresponding category pages. ✅
 * 2) Link from See also section on corresponding root articles. ✅
 * 3) Link from bottom of corresponding templates. ✅
 * 4) Link for each portal on Portal:Contents/Portals. ✅

Your help is needed. It is easy to access the page mentioned in #1, #2, & #3 from the portals themselves.

AWBers could do these tasks even faster (that's how the category pages were done), except #4...

Item #4 above pretty much has to be done by hand. (If you can find a way to speed that up, I would be very impressed). The links needing placement can be found at Portal talk:Contents/Portals. Instructions are included there.

The conversion effort: news sections
There are still around 1200 old-style portals that have only undergone partial conversion to the new design concepts, still relying on subpages with copied/pasted excerpts that have been going stale for years, out of date (manually posted) news entries, etc.

The section currently being tackled on these is news. You can help by deleting any news section on the old-style portals that has news entries that are years old (that is the dead giveaway to a manual news section). Be sure not to delete the news sections of portals that have up-to-date news, or active maintainers. For maintainers, look at the portal's categories, and/or check the participants list at WP:WPPORT.

Eventually, conditional news sections (that appear only when news items are available for display) will be added using AWB to all portals without a news section.

News items (and even the news sections themselves) are automatically generated for portals that were created using the Basic portal start page. On those portals, there is a hidden comment at the top of the page (that you can see in the edit window), that says this:

Design development
Presently, we are in the process of implementing the new design features, creating new portals with them, and installing them in existing portals.

But, what about development of new new design features?

We have a wish department.

Post your wishes at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Portals/Design, and they might come true. Many have already, and for many of those, this is where they were posted.

Cascade effect
A resource that has been elusive so far will be obtained eventually: categories. That is, the ability to pull category member links to populate a page.

Rather than populate portals directly with such links, it may be more beneficial to the encyclopedia to utilize them in navigation footers, because portals already have the ability to generate themselves based on those.

So, this would create a cascade effect: auto-gathering entries from categories, would enable the construction of new navigation footers, that would in turn support the development of new portals.

The cascade effect would also be felt by existing portals, as existing navigation footers could be expanded using the category harvesting methods, which would in turn expand the coverage of portals that access those navigation footers.

You can help by providing leads about any potential category harvesting methods. Please report anything you know about harvesting categories at WT:WPPORTD. Thank you.

Looking into the future: the quantum portal?
One idea that has been floating around is the concept of a pageless portal. That is, a portal that isn't stored anywhere, instead being generated when you click on a menu item or button.

Many of the new portals were generated by a single click, and then saved via a second click.

Therefore, it seems likely that the portals of the future will employ the one-click concept.

Because of the need for customization by users, this concept would need to be augmented with a way to integrate user contributions. This could be done in at least two ways: posting an existing portal, autogenerating one from scratch if such does not yet exist, or have a special data page for user contributions that is folded into the auto-generated portal.

How soon? That is up to you. All that is needed are persons to implement it.

Until next time...
Keep up the good work on portals. They are improving daily. Thank you. &mdash; The Transhumanist  04:20, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Email
No disagreement here. I'm just highlighting the problem to try and pre-empt a re-run of the same discussions that've got nowhere in the past. That WA example is obviously better - but WA is relatively unusual in having reasonably clear and permanent regions, which makes that approach challenging to replicate unless you can somehow work out equivalents in other states.

(I always read and appreciate your emails - I need to work out where they actually get sent to so I can reply that way.) The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 07:27, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. It wasn't on my watch list, but I've put it on now. I don't feel the few edits there have been are important enough to be worth bothering about, but of course that could change if much more comes.

NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.
 * Backlog


 * Community Wishlist Proposal
 * There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
 * Please join the conversation as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!


 * Project updates
 * ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
 * There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.


 * New scripts
 * User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js(info) — A new script created for quickly placing copyvio-revdel on a page.

Hi. You may not agree with me replying publically here, but I believe others have a right to know there are more Wikipedians disagreeing with his editing behaviour. To be honest, I had very quickly given up on collaborating with him. Back in January 2017 I asked him multiple times to provide edit summaries, so others can get an idea of what he wants to do, especially when reverting people. Alas, as you can see from his contribution history: still not a single word, yet communication is essential in a project like Wikipedia. I saw he told you to mind your own business; he did the same to me. Probably also the only time he edited someone else's user page other than his own... This is obviously WP:NOTHERE ("Little or no interest in working collaboratively") behaviour, but he does start communicating when deletion of his work is imminent. --HyperGaruda (talk) 20:21, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Please inspect these portals, report problems or suggest improvements at WT:WPPORTD, or develop them further (see below). Thank you.

What's next?
There is still lots to do...

There are many subject gaps that need to be filled. This can be done by creating new portals, or by adding Selected article sections to existing portals. To create a new portal, simply place   on an empty portal page, and click "Preview". If the portal is complete, click "Save". After you try it, come share your experience and excitement at WT:WPPORTD.

Each new portal is just a starting point. Each portal of the new design can be further developed by:
 * refining the search parameters to improve the results displayed in the Did you know and In the news sections.
 * adding more specific Selected articles sections, like Selected biographies.
 * inserting a Recognized content section.
 * adding more pictures to the image slideshow.
 * placing a panoramic picture at the top of the intro section (especially for geographic portals).

Besides the new portals, there are still about 1200 portals of the old design that need to be converted to the new design.

Many portals need to be de-orphaned, by placing links to them (in the See also section of the corresponding root articles, at the bottom of the corresponding navigation footer templates, and on the corresponding category pages).

Many of the new portals still need to be listed at Portal:Contents/Portals.

Bugs keep popping up in portals. These need to be tracked down and reported at WT:WPPORTD.

Tools are needed to make developing and maintaining portals quicker and easier.

Dreaming up new features and capabilities. Innovation needs to continue, to design the portal of tomorrow, and the portal development-maintenance-system of the future. Automation!

So, if you find yourself with a little (or a lot) of free time, pick an area (or more) above and...

Endeavour or Leeuwin
Are you sure that that is the Endeavour? I thought I saw the Leeuwin, and the Events Hightlights supports that idea. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:08, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Graeme Henderson, producer?
Is Graeme Henderson, Australian maritime historian and author, also the producer of Under the Mountain (miniseries)? It seems unlikely, but the latter links to the former. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:37, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

SPI
Your report at Sockpuppet investigations/Manda 1993 seems to be mangled. I'm hesitant to interfere at SPI so I'll settle for drawing your attention to it. Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 11:56, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey, I can't always respond that quickly. I was trying to deal with too many things at once, including eating breakfast (good too!). Anyway, what you should do is refile the report but follow the instructions at WP:SPI rather than trying to edit the case directly. I would have fixed what you did or asked a clerk to do so, but it was more than a little bit of work. Better for you to take another stab at it. If you have questions, let me know...here, not on my Talk page. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:19, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * very very sorry, somewhat complex issues my end as well - I appreciate your response, very much. I lose faith in everything when I get confronted by this particular sock, I keep forgetting the tell tale signature.. it really is so damned obvious, I had only clicked, to go out for a meeting when it struck me it was our friend again... JarrahTree 14:25, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * as I have said to ianvector i know it is the same editor by the signature edit pattern, but if I have to log a spi case for the procedure, in about 12 hours, I need to slow down with some intense project tagging as my way of slowing down :)   JarrahTree 14:40, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Persoonia articles
Hello JarrahTree,

I am curious about your ratings on Talk:Persoonia hindii‎ which you have left as "Start" class and on Talk:Persoonia isophylla, Talk:Persoonia isophylla and Talk:Persoonia elliptica which you have changed fom "Start" to Stub". Very strange since the only real difference between the four articles is that the first one lacks an image. Can you enlighten me please? What else do they need to be rated "Start"? Gderrin (talk) 01:48, 4 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply mate - for a moment, I thought the world was ending! Gderrin (talk) 02:19, 4 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Sorry JarrahTree - but here's a wet fish! Nearly every time you add a state project to plant Talk pages to which I've contributed, you are changing "start" to "stub". Zieria articles are the present problem. The world is ending. Gderrin (talk) 02:29, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018
Hello ,
 * Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
 * Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.


 * If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.


 * We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.


 * With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 18:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

By the way, the above list was generated using this Petscan query. It can be easily modified by changing the date. The data page (under the Output tab) also has options for receiving the data in CSV or tabbed format, which some operating systems automatically load into a spreadsheet program for ease of use, such as copying and pasting the desired column (like page names).

In closing
We'll keep it short this issue.

Expect a flood next time. Or the one after that.

Hello JarrahTree, I came across this blog about depths of shipwrecks dived. http://blog.gue.com/extending-the-envelope-the-20-deepest-tech-shipwreck-dives/ I noticed that you were interested in shipwrecks & wondered if there should be a Wikipedia page or section on Technical Diving to cover "The deepest first dives on shipwrecks"?

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018
Hello ,

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
 * Reviewer of the Year
 * Thanks are also extended for their work to (15,059 reviews),  (12,760reviews),  (9,001reviews),  (8,440reviews),  (8,092reviews),   (5,306reviews),  (4,153 reviews),  (4,016reviews),  and  (3,615reviews)., , , and  have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only sevenmonths, while , with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

See also the list of top100 reviewers.

The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
 * Less good news, and an appeal for some help

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
 * Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019

Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minutevideo was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers. If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here.

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 13
Newsletter • December 2018

This month: A general update.

The current status of the project is as follows:
 * Progress of the project has been generally delayed since September due to development issues (more bitrot than expected, some of the code just being genuinely confusing, etc) and personal injury (I suffered a concussion in October and was out of commission for almost two months as a result).
 * I currently expect to be putting out a proper call for CollaborationKit pilots in January/February, with estimated deployment in February/March if things don't go horribly wrong (they will, though, don't worry). As a part of that, I will properly update the page and send out announcement and reach out to all projects already signed up as pilots for WikiProject X in general, at which point those (still) interested can volunteer specifically to test the CollaborationKit extension.
 * WikiProject X/Pilots was originally created for the first WikiProject X prototype, and given this is where the project has since gone, it's only logical to continue to use it. While I haven't yet updated the page to properly reflect this:
 * If you want to add your project to this page now, feel free. Just bear in mind that more information what to actually expect will be added later/included in the announcement, because by then I will have a much better idea myself.
 * Until then, you can find me in my corner working on making the CollaborationKit code do what we want and not just what we told it, per the workboard.

Until next time,

WikiProject Portals update #024, 26 Dec 2018
Last issue, I mentioned there would be a flood, and so, here it is...

Portals status
We now have 4,620 portals.

And the race to pass 5,000 by year's end is on...

Can we make it?

The New Year, and the 5,001st portal, await.

( New portals are created with  or   )

Evad is back!
After disappearing in mid-thread, Evad37 has returned from a longer than expected wikibreak.

Be sure to welcome him back.

Improved cropping is coming to Portal image banner
User:FR30799386 is working on making Portal image banner even better by enabling it to chop the top off an image as well as the bottom.

Many pictures aren't suitable for banners because they are too tall. Therefor, User:FR30799386 added cropping to this template, so that an editor could specify part of a picture to be used rather than the whole thing.

Upgrade of flagship portals is underway
Work has begun on upgrading Wikipedia's flagship portals (those listed at the top of the Main page).

So far, Portal:Geography, Portal:History, and Portal:Technology have been revamped. Of course, you are welcome to improve them further.

Work continues on the other five. Feel free to join in on the fun.

Spotting missing portals that are redirects
In place of many missing portals, there is a redirect that leads to "the next best topic", such as a parent topic.

Most of these were created before we had the tools to easily create portals (they used to take 6 hours or more to create, because it was all done manually). Rather than leave a portal link red, some editors thought it was best that those titles led somewhere.

The subjects that have sufficient coverage should have their own portals rather than a redirect to some other subject.

Unfortunately, being blue like all other live links, redirects are harder to spot than redlinks.

To spot redirects easily, you can make them all appear green.

What's new in portal space?

Thanks for the welcome!
I guess I'll keep plugging away from these IP addresses for now. Given how much wonderful work of yours I've seen on the project, I think I can only aspire to what you've been achieving.

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:

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:


 * 1) The new portals need to be linked to from the encyclopedia.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) A Recognized content section needs to be added to each portal that has a corresponding WikiProject.
 * 4) Addition of a category on those portals that lack a subject category.
 * 5) Implement the portal category system, adding the appropriate categories to each portal.
 * 6) 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).
 * 7) Find and fix the remaining bugs in the underlying lua modules.
 * 8) Build portal tools (scripts) to assist in the creation, development, and maintenance of portals.
 * 9) Build a script to help build navbox footer templates, via the harvesting of categories, amongst other methods.
 * 10) Update the portal building instructions.
 * 11) Update the portal guideline.
 * 12) Refine the programming of the portals to reduce their load time.
 * 13) Design and develop the next generation of portals and portal components.

And whatever else you can dream up.

But most of all, have a...

Mitch
I'm snarky now because he keeps doing this and has seemed impervious to any attempt at reason the umpteen times this has happened previously. It takes a lot of time to have to revert mass nonsensical category changes because Mitch is at it again. The solution to the situations Mitch finds is almost always discussion (the Royal Exhibition Buildings categories would be another good one), but Mitch never does it and always is bold in the stupidest possible way. If I have to clean up after someone in a major way for going on ten times, I tend to stop being polite about it. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 08:38, 1 January 2019 (UTC)


 * No disagreement here. It is a bit difficult with something like Sydney Opera House because (with the exception of "Mathematics and art") it doesn't seem to me like there's much in the way of unreasonable categories. We might not need "landmarks in Sydney" and "tourist attractions in Sydney", perhaps (maybe someone should try to merge them?) - but not much that'd be easily pruned. Perhaps a solution there could be to stick Category:Sydney Opera House in each category, rather than the main article - it already exists and it's in a random half the categories, which doesn't seem very sensible regardless. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 08:48, 1 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Yep. It really does often need discussion to hash out category trees in such a way that they're actually logical instead of evolving in all directions at random - we've usually got good outcomes when we've bothered to do it in the past, and it's something we don't do enough.

Yealering
Hiya, I noticed you had posted all the images of stuff in the town of Yealering on Wikimedia Commons, you didn't happen to get a snap of the lake while you were out that way did you? Hughesdarren (talk) 09:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Late Thanks
for the season's greetings. I've spent every day since 26th coping with illnesses. New Year's lunch was half a toasted sandwich I found in the only shop open (after trekking 5 kilometres) in between hospital visits to an aged philosopher, a relative of mine. Still, hope your year shapes up better than the prospective one that will keep me usefully away from wiki in the forseeable future. Cheers.Nishidani (talk) 22:15, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
