How to setup Recognized Content listings for portals
Recently, a bunch of sub-optimal Recognized Content listings were removed from the talk page of several portals (which may or may not include this one), indicating there is a lack of understanding about how the system works (see WP:RECOG for details). In a nutshell, the system should ideally be used to create listings on the main page of the portal, either directly, or via transclusions.

The typical setup is to create Portal: Foobar  /Recognized content, and add This will create a listing similar to WikiProject Physics/Recognized content. The system can handle Did You Know, In the News, Vital articles and a slew of other high-profile articles if desired (see WP:RECOG for details), or have individual separate listings for featured articles, good articles, featured listed, etc. Such a listing of articles, which is kept up-to-date by the bot, can be used to generate a slideshow using Transclude list item excerpts as random slideshow. For example, generates the "Featured article" section at Portal:The arts.

You can also create a separate Portal: Foobar  /Did you know page to show the most recent blurbs, with This will create a listing similar to WikiProject Physics/Did you know. After these pages are created, you can translude them on the Portal page by including  and   where you want these listings displayed. If you need help setting these up, simply reply below with  and I'll get back to you. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:48, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
