Well, here's the first issue of the new year. Enjoy...
A hearty welcome to new arrivals to the portals department:
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.
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 09:20, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
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.
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".
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:
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.
And be sure they are on your watchlist.
Keep 'em coming!
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!
That's all I have to report this time around.
No doubt there will be more to tell soon.

Here's a quicky status report:
But of course, there has been more going on than just that...
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!
User:Emoteplump, a recent contributor to the portals project, was discovered to be a sockpuppet account of an indefinitely blocked user.
When that happens, admins endeavor to eradicate everything the editor contributed. This aftermath has left a wake of destruction throughout the portals department, again.
The following portals which have been speedy deleted, are in the process of being re-created. Please feel free to help to turn these blue again:

Where we are at:
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 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/?title=User:Emoteplump&oldid=881568794#Additional_Portals_under_my_watch
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.
There are 5 drives for portal development:
Let's take a closer look at these...
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.
The portal collection is growing, not only by the addition of new portals, but by further developing the ones we already have, by...
More features will be added as we dream them up and design them. So, don't be shy, make a wish.
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:
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.
See below...
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...

A discussion is taking place as to whether 7 portals which you-created are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether they should be deleted.
The pages will be discussed at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/7 single-navbox automated portals (repostings of sockpuppetry) until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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 pages during the discussion, including to improve the pages to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the deletion notices from the top of the pages. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 15:52, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
The file File:CedricTWins.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Low resolution crop of a file we have on Commons ( File:Cedric T. Wins (3).jpg). I've already replaced this image's usage with the aforementioned file. If this specific cropping is needed, them it should be done at a higher resolution.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Thank you very much for having begun to rework the Fleecehold draft, to turn it into an article.
Yes, it has an entirely UK POV. I don't know if similar circumstances exist in other countries. Homes in the UK have been traditionally and legally classified, marketed, and sold as either (true) Freehold or (true) Leasehold, but during the last 20 years or so, major builders have quietly created variants of both forms. The media articles cited in the "External Sources" section show how these variants have been uncovered since about 2016.
Yes, I'm sure the draft will be different after you have finished, and I look forward to seeing the subject through your eyes.

A discussion is taking place as to whether 7 portals which you-created are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether they should be deleted.
The pages will be discussed at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/7 single-navbox automated portals (repostings of sockpuppetry) until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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 pages during the discussion, including to improve the pages to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the deletion notices from the top of the pages. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 15:52, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
The file File:CedricTWins.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Low resolution crop of a file we have on Commons ( File:Cedric T. Wins (3).jpg). I've already replaced this image's usage with the aforementioned file. If this specific cropping is needed, them it should be done at a higher resolution.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{
PD-notice}}
after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim. Thanks, —

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited United States Army Futures Command, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page WSMR ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Thank you very much for having begun to rework the Fleecehold draft, to turn it into an article.
Yes, it has an entirely UK POV. I don't know if similar circumstances exist in other countries. Homes in the UK have been traditionally and legally classified, marketed, and sold as either (true) Freehold or (true) Leasehold, but during the last 20 years or so, major builders have quietly created variants of both forms. The media articles cited in the "External Sources" section show how these variants have been uncovered since about 2016.
Yes, I'm sure the draft will be different after you have finished, and I look forward to seeing the subject through your eyes.

Ancheta Wis, this news item, concerning just one of the forms of tenure involved in the general Fleecehold scandal, namely so-called "Freehold" houses, may be of interest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMgtePOG-cw&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1wz5CotIXVSrHhko3ZBK-AJ1cYwrDvXzj5ZmfK8yQwbGqVh66J3dxAeNA Ioscrivo ( talk) 20:31, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
