“ Portals are more than just a list, which can be achieved more easily with categories. Portals provide more information and context for the items they contain than would be possible with a category. They can also be used to highlight certain works or authors, suggest ideas for work that needs to be done, explain Wikisource's policy or style, and more. ”

“ Example: Portal:Joe Hooper. These pages may move between the Portal and Author namespaces as more information becomes available. Corporate authors. Entities that are recorded as the author but are not real people. ”
