Moved to Category:Portals under construction

I've been moving portals under construction from Category:Portals to Category:Portals under construction. This portal was moved because of red link for the Portal:Water/Things you can do section. When this is fixed, the portal should be recategorized. —Doug Belltalkcontrib 08:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Intensification of the water cycle article

Since the water cycle is being profiled, I encourage y'all to advect over there and radiate some WP energy. There were big changes recently, and it would be nice to get the high profile topic spic 'n span. Cheers, Daniel Collins 16:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC).Reply

Proposed Australian collaboration

There is a discussion at Wikipedia:Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight#Irrigation in Australia or Water supply in Australia for a proposed new article, probably to be called Irrigation in Australia. If you would be interested in helping to develop the article, people (Australian or not) are welcome to add their support and comments. Is there a Water noticeboard I should be using for this?--Scott Davis Talk 00:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Structured list for water topics.

The indistinct scope of the water article will need to be solidified in order to get it to featured article quality. I have two proposed lists, 1) by topic, following the article; 2) by state/ecological domain. Hearing no objection in the next 2 weeks, they will be posted (unless someone else acts fist).

2nd list: by water type

Target?

@Nnemo: I saw this pop up in my recent changes patrol. The target looks odd; did you intend a redirect to Portal:Swimming, perhaps? -- John of Reading (talk) 18:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello @John of Reading. Oops, there was a little error. It's corrected now. Thank you for telling me. I was not thinking about Portal:Swimming. Aquatic Portal = Water Portal. I move the talk according to usage. --Nnemo (talk) 19:28, 5 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Notice from the Portals WikiProject

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   07:50, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

2020 additions and updates

The portal was only providing one selected article, Water cycle, using a transclusion of the Portal:Water/Featured article page, so I added more articles directly to the portal, listed below. This serves to provide WP:READERS with a greater and more diverse range of water-based content. The portal is now using transclusion templates to provide article content (and other content) which displays verbatim content to that in articles, providing readers with up-to-date content. A consensus approving the usage of transclusion templates in portals was formed at this Village Pump discussion, which was closed on 28 December 2019 (UTC).
