'''Portals''' are pages intended to serve as "Main Pages" for specific topics or areas. A portal may be associated with one or more [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProjects]]; unlike a WikiProject, however, it is meant for both readers and editors of Wikipedia, and should promote content and encourage contribution. Portals are created for encyclopedic topics only and not for article maintenance categories.

== What are portals? ==
{{Namespaces}}
{{further|Wikipedia:Featured portal criteria}}

The idea of a portal is to help readers and/or editors navigate their way through Wikipedia topic areas through pages similar to the [[Main Page]]. In essence, portals are useful entry-points to Wikipedia content.

Portals originated in the [[Polish Wikipedia|Polish]] and [[German Wikipedia|German]] [[Wikipedia]]s. In early 2005, the concept was imported to the English Wikipedia and the first ''Wikiportals'' were established. Later that year, a [[Wikipedia:Portal namespace (setting-up debate)|special namespace]] (Portal:) was created for portals.

Portals are subject to the [[Wikipedia:Five pillars|Wikipedia's five pillars]] and must comply with Wikipedia's core content policies ([[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], [[Wikipedia:No original research|no original research]], [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability]], etc.).

Currently, this Wikipedia, the English Wikipedia, has {{number of portals}} registered portals, of which '''{{featured portals number}}''' have [[Wikipedia:Featured portals|featured]] status.

== How to find portals ==
{{main|Wikipedia:Portal/Directory|Portal:Contents/Portals}}

All portals should be listed at the '''[[Wikipedia:Portal/Directory|directory of portals]]''', which also details their founding dates and whom you can contact with regard to a particular portal. If you have created a portal, you ''must'' list it here. [[Portal:Contents/Portals]] lists all portals of reader-ready quality.

Portals are also largely inter-accessible with users able to navigate from one portal to another. Universal features, such as the [[Template:Browsebar|browsebar]] (which links to top-level portals), and the [[Template:Portals|portals template]] (which links to [[Portal:Contents/Portals]]), allow for convenient browsing. Moreover, portals are also [[:Category:Portals|categorised]] according to hierarchy. Portals, in most instances, also link to their ''Related portals'' (those lateral to them) and their ''Subportals'' (those that descend from them).

Links to portals are often found in the "See also" section of relevant articles.  Links to portals may also be found at the top of an article's [[WP:TALK|talk page]] (as part of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] banner templates).  Portals for top-level subjects are also linked from the [[Wikipedia:Main|Main Page]].

== How to add portal links to articles ==
{{portal|Energy|Cycling}}

Within articles, this template is meant to be placed at the bottom of the article in the See also section. If there is no See also section, you can put it in the External links section instead; there is no need to create a new section just to house this template. If there is no External links section either, just put it below the article text in the place that seems most appropriate. There are no particular rules about the placement of portals on other kinds of page.

Entering the link at the top of the section will allow it to sit on the top right.  Add a portal link by typing ''{{[[Template:Portal|Portal]]|<portal name>}} '' for example ''<nowiki> {{Portal|Energy}}</nowiki>''. If more than one portal is to be linked use a second parameter, for example ''<nowiki> {{Portal|Energy|Cycling}} </nowiki>'' (illustrated on right).   If there are problems with the regular {{tl|Portal}} causing undesired layout effects use ''{{tl|Clear}}'', {{tl|Portal bar}} (example shown below), {{tl|Portal-inline}}, or an icon-free text link ''<nowiki>* [[Portal:Energy|Energy portal]]</nowiki>'', 
* [[Portal:Energy|Energy portal]]
{{clear}}
{{portal bar|Energy|Cycling}}

== How to create a portal ==
{{main|Wikipedia:Portal/Instructions}}

There is no single standard design for portals, but the most widely used layout is the "[[Template:box portal skeleton|box portal]]". The use of this design is recommended due to the ease with which it can be created and maintained. For further ideas on portal design, [[Portal:Contents/Portals|browse]] existing portals and see the [[Portal:Featured portals|featured portals]]. For step-by-step instructions on how to set up a new portal, refer to the '''[[Wikipedia:Portal/Instructions|instructions page]]'''. Unlike WikiProjects, portals should not be created for article maintenance category, but only for encyclopedic topics.

Once you have created the portal, please update the {{tl|number of portals}} template.

== How to make a good portal ==
{{main|Wikipedia:Portal guidelines}}

Most portals present the following:
* A selected article and/or picture;
* Links into the main [[Wikipedia:Categorization|category]] for the topic and possibly subcategories (some portals actually appear in the description page for the main category);
* General info about the subject, or links thereto;
* Links to other portals (using templates) and for editors;
* Links to related [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProjects]] ({{tl|Sister project links}} can be used to add [[Wikimedia]] [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects|sister-project]] links to a portal);
* Links to specific articles or tasks;
* Collaboration of the week, month, etc.

You may want to embark on an effort to fill the related categories with appropriate articles if this has not been done already (or add it to the portal's "to do" list so visitors can help out).

== How to categorize a portal ==
{{main|Wikipedia:Portal/Categorizing}}

* For a simple portal, simply add a specific subcategory of [[:Category:Portals]] to the bottom of the portal page.
* For a complex, multi-page portal, a portal category is needed.
* Portal categories are generally named <code><nowiki>[[Category:TOPIC portal]]</nowiki></code> where the portal itself is named <code><nowiki>[[Portal:TOPIC]]</nowiki></code>.
* Portal categories are categorized under [[:Category:Portals]] subcategories just like portals.
* Portals with their own categories are only categorized in that category, which in turn is put into the other categories that the portal would have been in.

== How to get involved ==
{{main|Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals}}
Just as with Wikipedia at large, portals can be edited by anyone. However, it is important to pay due regard to the established work of others. Editors are always needed to maintain individual portals; if you would like to participate in the upkeep of a particular portal, note your intention on its talk page, list yourself as a maintainer in the [[Wikipedia:Portal/Directory|directory of portals]], then get to work&nbsp;– thank you!

A '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|WikiProject on Portals]]''' has been founded to coordinate portal activity. The current objectives are to develop standards for all portals and to ensure maintenance. Other tasks include the integration and categorisation of portals.

Immediate attention is needed at portals listed in [[:Category:Portals under construction]] and [[:Category:Portals needing attention]].
