Severely neglected mini-portal on a narrow topic, with low readership, and no WikiProject suuport. It has stale DYKs, 11-year-old "news", wildly outdated content forks, and its pointless attempt to replicate the category tree has been replaced by the navbox which is already on dozens of articles.
Tasmania is an island state of Australia, with a population of only 533,000. It is rare for geographical portals of areas this small to be sustainably viable, i.e. to attract enough readers and editors to avoid rotting. Over the last seven months of portal MFDs, dozens of such portals have been deleted because they are similarly neglected.
The portal page was created in March 2006 as a redirect to Portal:Australia, and in December 2007 it was converted to a stand-alone portal by Seb26 ( talk · contribs). Over the rest of that month, it was built by Seb26 and Daniel ( talk · contribs). Daniel made no contributions to the portal after Dec 2007, and Seb26 made only two after that month (see the portal-space contribs by Daniel and those by Seb26.
Since then, the portal has been little touched, apart from the usual formatting tweaks to the mainpage, some additionals DYKs in 2014 and 2015, and a few drive-by trivial edits to sub-pages.
The result is that Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Tasmania shows:
may soon be listed as endangered. It was actually added to the IUCN's endangered list in 2008.
There is also a set of images, which have all be unused since 2018, when TTH changed the portal to use {{Transclude files as random slideshow {{PAGENAME}} }}
. That means that the portal now just replicates the image set built of the head article
Tasmania, with the difference that the portal's tiny image window is vastly inferior to much better image slideshow which is built into every Wikipedia page for logged-out readers.
There are no active maintainers. The last significant change was the now-stake DYKs added in 2015; the rest nearly all date from 2007.
Portal talk:Tasmania has had no discussion ever. The only post ever made there is a single mass-message by User:The Transhumanist (TTH), which got no replies.
There is a WP:WikiProject Tasmania, but it too is uninterested. A search of its talk space for "Portal:Tasmania" gives no hits. No other project is interested either: whatlinkshere for the Wikipedia talk namespace shows no links from any talk pages. And there are no links from user talk pages.
It is almost unread. In Jan–Jun 2019, it averaged only 9 views per day, which is barely above background noise. That is despite 623 links from articles, and 456 links from categories.
Even the portals project is uninterested. Portal talk:Tasmania has the {{ WikiProject Portals}} banner, but nobody has ever bothered to assess it for quality or importance.
This should have been deleted years ago. Time to delete it now. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 22:20, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
