Do I understand correctly that you want to remove all entries that have images for deleted portals? Or do you want to just delete the images, leaving the red links in place? —
JFGtalk 16:49, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
I read that like delete the images. I think also the portal boxes/portal bars-with-deleted-portals probably should be removed/fixed as well, but that's an aside. --

@
Izno: I agree that the portal boxes/portal bars-with-deleted-portals should be removed/fixed.
I have just finished a month-long process of cleaning up those categories, which between them had over 100,000 entries when they started. As of the evening of tuesday 13th, they were clear of article and content categories, but still had a few dozen project pages in them.
Clearing all the deleted portals made visible a lot of broken links, which I fixed as along the way. --

I agree with
Guilherme Burn that these images should be removed from the list. Discussion is ongoing on the deletion of more of the depressingly large number of abandoned junk portals ... but about 4870 of 5705 portals have been deleted since February, so we are already in a position to do a big cleanout. --

I'm going to reactivate the edit request because I believe there exists consensus here. I'm not concerned about sandbox versions; the change is trivial here and just needs someone to go through 26 pages regardless. --
Izno (

I agree with
Izno that this should proceed. However, I disagree about sand boxing. Given the huge number of pages using those modules, it's important to sandbox the changes to minimise the number of edits. --

The list posted above does have incorrect removals. I did find evidence that all of those As on
User:Izno/portals were deleted (with or without the spelling listed), besides those listed with "??? HUH ???" which appear either to have had some bizarre spelling or were never created in the first place. --
Izno (

Note: Even though this edit was not implemented, the list provided by the original edit proposer needs to be double checked. Reason being: The entires on these pages are not case-sensitive. For example, the edit proposer claims that ["American civil war"] can be removed, which is false since
Portal:American Civil War exists.

BrownHairedGirl: If you read the deletion log for
Portal:National Basketball League (Australia) the original deletion was due to it being an abandoned draft originally made in 2006, with only a two-line intro, one navbox and a category listing and no updates since it was created. The revival of the Portal in September 2019 was a completely new version with no links to the previous portal and much more content (included features articles, did you knows, maps, list of the next games, standings and more).

Don't understand what you mean by complex. It's just a globe, a 90s-style computer and 3 letters, WWW, for the World Wide Web. The internet became popular globally in the 90s, so the symbolism of that image seems to capture that essence in a very powerful way, doesn't it? Here's the 1990 computer used in the image. P.I.

Some of the file strings in subpages of
Module:Portal/images don't have the link= parameter which makes the portal icons unclickable. Most of them do, so I take it that unclickable portal icons is the desired behaviour. At least for consistency's sake, can someone with the appropriate permissions add link= to those strings without it? For example:

Hi, from looking at
Template:Portal/doc/all it appears that the majority of portals were deleted, would it not be sensible to now also tidy up the associated images and remove all non-existent portal image entries?

We talked about this before but apparently this are interfaced with
Template:WikiProject box so project boxes need them.
Module:Portal/images was specifically set up to provide a more efficient way for Template:Portal to access images. Since these other templates also had a need to access many of these same images, it was felt that Module:Portal/images could serve as the image link source for all these templates rather than creating redundant modules for each template. I suppose we could have renamed Module:Portal/images as Module:Images/images so that users wouldn't assume that it was only for the use with Template:Portal, but a consensus felt this would generate an unnecessary amount of work.

Oppose - This module is to fetch images used by Portals, so, even if that image is used in other contexts, it is still a Portal's image and the name of this module accurately describes its function. Also, there may come a time when we need to make use of such a top-level module name like
Module:Images for some unrelated function, and I would not want to see that name locked behind this particularly limited function. --

@
DocWatson42: See below for more context. Personally, I like the layout without the box; portal links in See also sections look less choppy that way on article pages, in my opinion. North America1000 10:02, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
Put me in the camp that would prefer the box restored. It would then be more consistent with the box around the Commons links, for example. Imzadi 1979→ 04:26, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
I don't mind the box, just as long as billions of readers can still actually see portal links in articles with a boxed version. As it was previously, they couldn't. Otherwise, the encyclopedia would be moving backwards in favor of aesthetic layout, rather than providing information to readers, essentially putting blinders on them. North America1000 05:33, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi Mr. Stradivarius: I just wanted to let you know that I have upgraded
Template:Portal to enable the portal links in articles to be viewable on mobile devices. The previous, Lua based version of the template simply does not display the portal links on mobile devices, which has become a significant problem. For example, way back in February 2013, Wikipedia Mobile
received 3 Billion Monthly Page Views. The former Lua based incarnation of the template shortly thereafter in April 2013 had a problematic side effect of disenfranchising billions of readers from having access to portal links in articles, a major problem, because if readers don't have access to thei links, they can never choose to use them. I don't know how many monthly page views Wikipedia Mobile receives now, but it is very likely a much greater amount compared to 2013, particularly when one takes into account the ever-increasing usage and popularity of mobile devices to surf the web.
This matter has been discussed for years here and there, and going into 2022, it seems like the right thing to enable billions of readers to have access to viewable portal links, so they at least have the option to easily access portals and know that the option to do so exists.
I hope this is okay with you. Some minor parameters that exist in the Lua version don't exist in the present version, such as moving the links to the left, resizing, etc. However, it does not appear that many pages utilize these functions anyway, and compared to the gravitas of enabling billions of mobile readers to now see portal links, when before they were blinded, the latter is logically of much greater significant benefit to the encyclopedia at this time.
A question for you, would it be possible to correct the Lua version to enable the portal links in articles to be viewable in Mobile view? Thanks for all of the great work you do. North America1000 05:36, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
@
Northamerica1000: Having portals display properly on mobile sounds like a good idea to me! When I ported the template from wikitext to Lua, I basically copied the template structure exactly as it was, and didn't think about mobile at all. Improvements to the template are certainly welcome. I think it would be a good idea to merge
Module:Portal and
Module:Portal-inline now that
Template:Portal and
Template:Portal-inline use such similar syntax, but I don't have any plans to edit them myself right now. — Mr. Stradivarius♪ talk ♪ 06:46, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind sentiments. Bottom line is that now, billions more readers will now see the portal links. I have no experience editing Module pages and Lua stuff, so pinging
Certes here, who does. Certes may have ideas to mention here as well. Frankly, my main concern was the ongoing problem of portal links being nonexistent on mobile devices, which has been solved. It's a situation that needed to be addressed for a long time, and now it is fixed. North America1000 07:05, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
On desktop, Template:Portal (
example) and Template:Portal-mobile (
example) look similar and seem interchangeable. Redirecting Template:Portal to Template:Portal-mobile seems reasonable and probably won't break anything. However, it might be more efficient to change Module:Portal to remove whatever hides the links on mobile, which may be one of the classes inserted at
Module:Portal#L-136. Behind the scenes, Template:Portal-mobile transcludes Template:Portal-inline which invokes Module:Portal-inline which in turn calls functions from Module:Portal. There are also 6,500 direct uses of Template:Portal-inline (
example). Some of them could be edited to use Template:Portal, but others do want the portal link inline rather then in a sidebar.
Certes (

The Lua version can be made to show on mobile by changing the css class name from portal to anything else, so I've changed it to portalbox in the sandbox version. See
this demo. --
WOSlinker (

Thank you; that may be all we need. It adds a box around the links; does anyone have any preference about that? If the box is wanted or can be suppressed, we could release that, then either replace Template:Portal-mobile by a redirect to Template:Portal, or even bulk-replace the transclusions and TfD Portal-mobile.
Certes (
talk) 14:30, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
Hang on: that raises a more general question. Why does class=portal hide content on mobile at all? Where else is it used? Should we simply change the css to stop hiding class=portal items on mobile?
Certes (
talk) 14:32, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
I think it's something the devs did to mobile version to hide certain content. I think they also hide the navbox class as well. The portal styles as set at
Module:Portal/styles.css and the sandbox version at
Module:Portal/sandbox/styles.css, to which I've also added the float:right. --
WOSlinker (

To add, rather than just been hidden, it's actually not sent over to the mobile version at all. --
WOSlinker (
talk) 14:49, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
Yes, class=navbox also prevents appearance on mobile. As well as navboxes, that hides other portal features such as lists of other selected articles, and we've discussed creating a Navbox-mobile template to work around that. Does class=portal apply to anything other than these lists of links to related portals? The change to
Module:Portal/styles.css should solve our current problem, but I'm concerned about what might break elsewhere.
Certes (
talk) 15:27, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
Done, but I'm still accustomed to seeing not only portal templates, but also other, similar templates (e.g., Wiki sister projects) set off from the rest of the article by a border. The border draws attention to the template. I reiterate: is there a way to have both a border and make the link(s) available to mobile users? —
DocWatson42 (
talk) 07:02, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Also, the removal of the box now causes the template not to stack properly (in desktop mode) with infoboxes, and presumably other, similar, constructs. See My Side of the Mountain and compare it to the
Internet Archive copy. —
DocWatson42 (
talk) 05:32, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
Part of the problem with the instance noted directly above is that the portal link was placed directly below the infobox, where portals are not typically placed (
perm link). I have since corrected this (
diff). The portal links stack fine elsewhere in articles, such as in See also sections. However, thanks for bring this up, because Module developers may be able to fix this, whereby when a portal link is placed right below an infobox or other types of boxes, it is automatically placed below that content. North America1000 10:41, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
I've switched things back to use the Lua module but with the upsated css class name. So the surrounding box is back. --

Fixing problems and refactoring exception handling
When I did the refactoring work, above, I noticed some problems in the tracking and error handling of {{Portal}} and {{Portal-inline}}:
Tracking was off by default (which wasn't intended, I believe)
When only non-existent portals are given, {{Portal}} returns a tiny little box.
When {{Portal-inline}} was given two portals, the result was both an error message and a single portal, which looks very odd.
Given these issues, I took the opportunity to fix, clean up, and refactor the exception handling code in
Module:Portal/sandbox. All of the exception logic is now centralized in p._checkPortals(), which does two things:
Determines whether too few or too many portal arguments have been provided
Find which arguments correspond to existing portals, and filters out the non-existent ones (depending on args.redlinks)
The function returns a (possibly) filtered list of portals, a (possible) tracking category, and a (possible) error message.
Any comments or feedback before we make this go live? I'm about to go on Wikibreak until after Jan 1. A code review would be appreciated: feel free to edit the sandboxes to fix any bugs or make improvements.
Thanks for your attention! —

Thanks for carrying out this work. I haven't analysed the code changes in detail but this looks like a very handy improvement. I've recently fixed all articles I could find which attempted to link deleted or mistyped portals, but getting the tracking sorted out would be helpful in finishing the job.

Done I moved the sandbox versions of
Module:Portal,
Module:Portal-inline, and
Module:Portal bar up to their respective main versions. Please let me know if anyone finds anything anomalous. @
Certes: there were only 2 pages with broken portal links (now fixed), so I think you did a great job in the cleanup.
The sandbox handling in all of these modules is fragile: I should go back and fix that. —

Template-protected edit request on 10 February 2022
@
Paine Ellsworth: The current green file has been turned to blue twice on Commons (since it represents Europe in cultural and political terms), but it's used in geographical projects too, so they restored the green version, while projects referred to Europe in cultural and/or political terms preferred the blue version, and that's the case of this project, so we made two distinct versions, keeping the green one for the geographical context.

For this Portal : [ "normandie" ] .
Now, the image is Drapeau de la Basse-Normandie.svg .
The image should be Flag of Normandie.svg (better quality image, and the image generally use in Wikipedia for the Normandy flag)

The selected image needs to appear as a small icon: . Would it be clearer to choose one of the other three members' corresponding symbols: ? I'd recommend
Zoso Robert Plant feather symbol.svg as it's unambiguous.

I just realised that the portal itself has been
deleted, so that line of the module isn't in use. The entry could be left alone along with the other deleted portals, or removed if it's messing up any reports (
Template:Portal/doc/all?).

As far as I know, all icons used portal links are already marked "noviewer". Can you provide an example where Media Viewer is popping up? —

Position not working
I have been trying to get the box displayed to the left, using |left=yes, but it still appears on the right. Is there a problem with the module or is the documentation incorrect?

@
Keith D:Fixed --- There was a bug in the CSS introduced at the end of 2021, now fixed. Sorry for the delay. —
