This project seems to have been rather quiet of late. Is anyone still around? There's another proposal to rename [[Lewis]] to "Isle of Lewis". This must be at least the fifth proposal to move this article. Shouldn't there be some guideline about repeated proposals? Please consider and comment at [[Talk:Lewis#Requested move 18 July 2018]]. --[[User:Deskford|Deskford]] ([[User talk:Deskford|talk]]) 09:07, 24 July 2018 (UTC) |

:This time the proposal is mainly that the place is actually called "Isle of Lewis" but also that it is clearly not the primary topic for plain "Lewis" anyway. There is a general expectation that we don't have the same proposal again and again without something new, but I have presented something new. Personally, living in England, I'd expect to find the given name under "Lewis" and the place under "Isle of Lewis" but having "Lewis" as the DAB seems like the best option.

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
Background
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:54, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Merging Hamilton unsourced stubs
Hi, can I direct anyone who might be interested to Talk:Hamilton, South Lanarkshire#Multiple merge proposal. As it suggests, I have tagged several very poor Hamilton related articles, giving others a chance to improve them and justify theirs continued existence rather than just boldly merging it all into the main town article. However, I would not be surprised if admins took that bold action on a few of them. Crowsus (talk) 23:20, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Commons - Category:19th-century politicians of Scotland
Hi all! I've split the mish-mash of 'Category:19th-century politicians of the United Kingdom' into three new categories: Scotland, England and Wales. Now we can find Scottish politicians easier, rather than having to open each file individually! Can someone check to make sure I've fished them all, please? ie there may be a few in the Category:19th-century politicians of England, which may need changing; of course they could be in both categories. I'll then split the 20th c. politicians, but would appreciate some help! Tapadh leat! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 08:39, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
Choice of infobox on articles about constituencies
Please see this discussion and follow-up RfC concerning the relative merits of {{infobox constituency}}
and {{infobox settlement}}
