Long time, no see

As you have been very involved with portals in the past, I thought you might like to know that...

Portals were nominated for deletion (yes, all portals, and the portal namespace) in an RfC that drew over 500 Wikipedians to comment.

It wasn't going well for portals, due to the pile on effect. I noticed that they hadn't notified the pages nominated for deletion. So, I intervened. :)

Many editors came to the portals' defense, and it turned out that many people are still interested in portals, and we now have a thriving Portals WikiProject of 84 members.

We're in the process of automating portals, and I thought you might be interested in what we've been up to, and what we are up to now.

Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   22:56, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

P.S.: By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC conflict and the Portals WikiProject.

Thanks for the update. I support automating as much as possible. Regards, RichardF (talk) 23:22, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
