For previous selected articles, pictures and articles which appeared in DYK?, see Portal:New Zealand/Previously_featured.
For featured articles on the current rotation, see Portal:New_Zealand/Selected_article.
This is a working list of articles to be shown as the selected article in future weeks. Anyone may feel free to add new articles, rearrange the list, or comment on the suitability of the articles.
To be eligible, an article must have a picture associated with it, should be more than a stub, and should have no dispute tag associated with it. Naturally, it must be associated with New Zealand. Any article which receives substantial objections to being a "selected article" here will not be used.
Every fourth week, the selected article is about a notable New Zealander, and the week after that displays a New Zealand city. The other two weeks are flexible. This is not set in stone.
The current week is : Week 24
.
Other cities or towns which do have pictures: Ohakune, Tirau, Greymouth, Blenheim
Ideas for biographies: New Zealand's Top 100 History Makers
The following articles may be featured once a picture is found for them:
Please add new suggestions for "Selected picture" to the list. Self-nominations are fine. I prefer not to use panoramas as they don't look good when they're only 300 pixels wide.
I may re-order the list to avoid having similar-themed shots or two by the same photographer immediately following each other.
The current week is Week 24.
See Wikipedia:Wikiportal/New Zealand/Did you know list for a list of new facts to be added from time to time to the DYK section. Extra contributions to this list are welcome. The articles on this list, unlike those on the main page DYK section, do not need to be newly created articles.
I've been the main maintainer for this portal for about 18 months, but now I'd like to move on to other projects within Wikipedia. Can one or more Wikipedians volunteer to take over the duties? The main tasks involved are:
Keeping the portal going in its current format takes me about half an hour a week. There is no reason why a new maintainer can't significantly change the format; they could drop some sections, add others (either static or dynamic sections), change the rate at which queued sections change, or change one of the existing sections to rotate between a fixed number of items rather than a new one each week. Sections can even show pseudo-random content. There are lots of other geographical portals which can provide inspiration. Please reply to this post if you are interested.- gadfium 02:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
seriously, you need to update the portal. I have listed it for Featured Portal review as it is not updated and has not selected picture. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 222.155.132.249 ( talk) 20:59, 29 January 2007 (UTC).
Does anyone else get redlinks instead of article-thingys for Portal:New Zealand/Selected picture/Week 9, 2007 and Portal:New Zealand/Selected article/Week 9, 2007 -- 222.155.129.158 03:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
This just dawned on me this morning. Is it possible to rename this portal Kiwipedia because Kiwi and Wiki have the same letters? PennsylvaniaPatriot 20:47, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey i noticed that the NZ youth parliament aint on wikipedia. I think that since youth MPs have just been elected, that somone should make a page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.184.199 ( talk • contribs)

The New Zealand Portal under Culture has headings for Cinema and Music but nothing for Newspapers, Radio & TV – should they have separate headings or be under the heading Media; though Media in NZ could just turn out to be a redirect to Newspapers in NZ, Radio in NZ & TV in NZ?

Can anyone tell me the exact location of Cooks landing place in New Zeland so I can add it to the Category:Landing places of Captain James Cook . [email protected]. 06:31, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
TVNZ Publicity created a spammy Geoffrey Bell (host) article, filling it with the usual press agent claptrap; so I stubbed it. Could somebody please restore it to a reasonable state without the PR fluff? I don't want to have any kind of anti-Kiwi systemic bias; but at the same time we have to treat publicity people like the spamming sneaks they are. -- Orange Mike | Talk 14:05, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Note to self: The bot known as User:Wikinews Importer Bot could be an easy way to keep the news section up to date. Anyone object? (Anyone ever read this page?!?) ... Ropata ( talk) 12:38, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
In german language WP there is a list of historic places in NZ (except two regions until now) de:Baudenkmale in Neuseeland). I tried to include as many pictures as possible, but some are still without pic. Possibly some of you has pictures of the missing sites to upload at common? Or sombebody knows the coordinates missing in case of farms etc? Take a look... TX Andy king50 ( talk) 19:23, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
I found four interesting photos of Puke Puke in Oroua County, a sawmilling settlement with its own logging railway called Puke Puke Express. I cannot find its location/coordinates or any additional information. Are you able to expand the stubs?
WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:40, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

The following are updates that have occurred to Portal:New Zealand in 2020. North America 1000 16:01, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
It is a shame to see the authors of this site are bungling information pertaining to the Maori Seats. First, they left off the Waiariki Seat. I see they have now added the Waiariki Seat but have left off Te Tai Tonga seat. Are they deliberately bungling this information or is it their information is not being proof-read and we cannot rely on this site to give us the correct information?
