Overhauled portal with modernized wiki markup using transclusion from articles to display content, which provides readers with current, up-to-date information. Article content from various portal subpages was moved directly into the portal using transclusions.
New content was also added to all article sections of the portal.
Additional updates, cleanup and layout changes have been performed.
The following articles are presently being displayed in the portal using transclusion from articles.
Consensus at VPP has approved using transclusion templates in portals, which provides users with up-to-date content that is verbatim to that in articles. North America100018:29, 14 February 2020 (UTC)reply
There seems to be an issue where a chunk of the text repeats, the first time without citations. I checked on mobile and desktop view, but it could be an issue on my side of things.

Thank you for reporting the problem. The portal includes the current version of the lead of
1980s. For some reason, the portal also contained a copy of an older version of
1980s, which I have now removed. Like most portals, citations are left in the main article and not copied into the portal.
