Tip of the day...

Difference between WikiProjects and portals?

What is the difference between WikiProjects and portals?

• WikiProjects are groups of editors who team up to collaborate on developing and maintaining articles or other features or aspects of Wikipedia. There is a Portals WikiProject, for example. WikiProjects are linked to from article talk pages with WikiProject banners like {{WikiProject Politics}} for example, but not from within articles.

• Portals are mainly for readers, providing an alternative doorway into a subject, and can be linked to from articles using the {{Portal}} template in an article's See also section. There may or may not be a WikiProject and a portal on the same subject.

By the way...the WikiProject Portals is currently redesigning and revamping the entire portals system, and could use all the help it can get. New participants are welcome.

Trivia

Please avoid adding Trivia sections, especially when that trivia is unsourced. See WP:TRIVIA for more information. BOVINEBOY2008 19:10, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bovineboy2008 - please stop removing the Trivia section. I am a big Elisabeth Shue fan and all information is correct, some are listed on her imdb page, others are from articles I've read on the internet or read in magazines over the years. I'm not a super-user of Wikipedia so not currently up on linking such articles, but I wouldn't publish something that wasn't correct.

Please read the article I linked. Stop adding unsourced trivia. All information must be sourced from articles, please add a link to the article for them. Also, these should be incorporated into her "Career" Section. Trivia sections are not allowed. BOVINEBOY2008 19:49, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

I will add the Trivia information to her Career section when I get a chance - which is what you could have done in the first instance instead of deleting. Also not everything on Wikipedia is sourced.
