thread_title:  New articles board and the bot feed 

message: Hi, I am in the trial runs of the User:AlexNewArtBot (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/AlexNewArtBot). The bot reads all the new articles for a day and puts suspected Cricket-related articles into User:AlexNewArtBot/CricketSearchResult, the articles are suppose to be manually put into the portal page and/or removed if irrelevant. Or whatever you want to do with them.
The list of rules are in User:AlexNewArtBot/Cricket, there is also the log on the User:AlexNewArtBot/CricketLog explaining the rules that sent an article to the search results (the log  is cleared every day, so try to look into the history of the log). Please contact me if you are interested in the fine tuning of the rules
That is all. Any suggestions are welcome. Alex Bakharev 11:39, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The Cricket portal page is missing the key ICC cricket ratings(The official ratings), for test & ODI.
We need to include that either as a separate Rankings Section, which could include 
*  Team rankings - Test & ODI
*  Player Rankings - Test & ODI, batsman, bowlers and All-rounders
or we can just include it in the featured lists..

message: I've moved the redesigned portal into the main space now. Work continues! I'll try and get some short explanatory notes written up as well, just to clear up where everything is and how it works (in case it's not completely obvious). Meanwhile, if anyone is twiddling their thumbs, there are plenty of redlinks in Portal:Cricket/On this day that need completing! →Ollie (talk • contribs) 19:11, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Nice work - congratulations.  Is there a reason for having this and stopping edit links in each box? —Moondyne 06:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried taking it out - the edit links appear, but don't work, presumably because of the way the pages are transcluded. I will look into it at some point. →Ollie (talk • contribs) 19:30, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Need MS Dhoni's ppics

message: I've setup the framework and added a few random entries for this as well a Portal:Cricket/This day in cricket page.  Unfortunately it looks like crap unless every day has an entry, so if anyone has any anniversaries to add, please do.  Once its substantially populated, it could be transcluded into the main portal page. —Moondyne 08:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cricinfo have a similar anniversary page for every day.  This one is for 8 August. A page for every day can be found through the links. While we shouldn't be dependent on Cricinfo, it is a good starting point and will be helpful in the short term. GizzaDiscuss © 10:34, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I created Portal:Cricket/On this day when I updated this page. I gave up fairly quickly as I decided it was too massive a task, but there are a few days there that you can use. →Ollie (talk • contribs) 11:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is important we do all of August first for obvious reasons. We can do the other months later on. GizzaDiscuss © 11:28, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Two Interwiki Links

message: I have several concerns that this portal no longer meets the current Featured portal criteria. 
* There is only one featured list used, Tendulkar's centuries, and given the choice available, it should be easy to get this up to a decent number (10+)
* Only one picture?  Again, there must be more pictures that can be used
* Only one batch of DYKs? Again, there must be more that can be used
* The news hasn't been updated for a few months, nor have the ICC rankings.
* (Less of an issue, although if you're doing things...) Can other articles be added to the "selected article" section beyond the 10 already there? 
I'll be happy to help improve the portal, although I'm not going to do all the work myself; it would be a good idea to look at some of the more recently featured portals to get ideas on the layout, coding, possible improvements (a "selected quotation" box, perhaps?) at the Featured portals log. Random subpages are the way forward, to avoid having to do manual updates... BencherliteTalk 18:38, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Did anything come of this concern? It still looks pretty much like a backwater here, but I don't know that portals are such a priority these days... Johnlp (talk) 00:12, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Multiple countries 

message: Hello! I wished that all the countries playing cricket (and having that specific article: example Australia national cricket team) have one generalisation. That is all have a section of Current Squad. So the sub-heading must be the same. Because for England it is Personnel, for West Indies it is Squad.It should have a common heading to avoid certain confusions (I did not know meaning of Personnel though). But Uniformity would be great!In explicit way: Can I have a Yes to modify the sub heading of current squad to a specific term?aGastya  ✉ Dicere Aliquid :) 23:49, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. I suspect you'll not get much response here as this is a bit of a backwater these days. But if you ask the same question at WT:CRIC you may get real discussion. Thanks. Johnlp (talk) 00:20, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

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, 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    07:05, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Agreed. The first problem is that the rankings tables remain aligned side-by-side even when the window/device is narrow. Previewing the portal with the rankings removed, the next problem is that the half-width boxes stay side-by-side. Most portals convert those to a single-column format on a narrow window/device. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:46, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
