Nice start[edit]

I just hope we have the manpower to keep up the input for a portal! Remain to be convinced on that one!. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 16:05, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well it has 20 different novel articles that rotate (can increase that number if we wish), so no need to update that too often. Plus Announcements and Things to do are just links so they are updated elsewhere. Boylo (talk) 04:18, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have to comment: What on earth is the point of offering a link "List of novels by author" which actually give a list of locations? TERRIBLE design. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.238.31 (talk) 10:07, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Changing selected articles[edit]

It's been a long time since the selected articles have been updated. I am going to remove the ones that are no longer GAs or FAs and add some more from FAs and GAs. Any objections?Sadads (talk) 20:25, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update portal[edit]

The portal doesn't get updated very often. Last time it got updated was 5 months ago. I can update the portal every few weeks. What do you think?TheQ Editor (Talk) 16:13, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletions[edit]

@K.e.coffman: This talk page is supposed to be for discussing improvements to the portal. You might do better at the WikiProject talk page, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Novels. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:40, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. So that not to clutter this page, I'm deleting the notices from here and moving them to the link suggested. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:44, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notice from the Portals WikiProject[edit]

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, 2018, 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 07:40, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
