What is a portal?[edit]

A portal on Wikipedia is a doorway to knowledge. Portals are similar to Wikipedia's Main page, but each one is focused on the subject area indicated in its own title. In addition to some of the features the Main page has, portals have various other features, including automated ones to keep their content continually in sync with the encyclopedia itself, updated directly from its articles.

Each portal provides sample content from articles within its scope, to help readers survey the subject. Each one also presents lists of links to aid in navigating its subject's content on Wikipedia and beyond.

New design features available for use in portals include slideshows for both images and article excerpts, panoramic banners, and more. Excerpts are pulled from articles at the time a portal is viewed, so that the latest version of each is always displayed.

Portals are currently evolving, being under continuous design development at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals. Please feel free to join and become a participant.
