Portal

“ And owing to them men go wrong therein, for those luminaries truly render service on the world-stations, one in the first portal, one in the third portal of the heaven, one in the fourth portal, and one in the sixth portal, and the exactness of the year is accomplished through its separate three hundred and sixty-four stations. ”

“ I see linking to portals is primarily a header issue, though we have extended that in the last proposal where we may have done work and research on a person or topic (that is not an author, and not a work) . So I would not be linking to the portal namespace solely to add to portal visibility from the body of a work, and if a portal is under-developed, I probably wouldn't link there unless it had high relevance. ”

“ Hesitating, he tried to remember certain legends that Pornos had once told him: legends that concerned such hidden caverns as the one on which he had stumbled. But it seemed that the tales had faded now from his mind, leaving only a dim sense of things that were perilous, forbidden and magical. He thought that the cavern was the portal of some undiscovered world—and the portal had opened to permit his entrance. Being of a nature both venturesome and visionary, he was undeterred by the fears that others might have felt in his place. ”

“ The portal is injured by being thrown into a glare of light, when it was intended to stand in shadow, as you will see in the north and south porches over the transept portals. The towers are hurt by losing relief and shadow; but the old fleche is obliged to suffer the cruellest wrong of all by having its right shoulder hunched up by half of a huge rose and the whole of a row of kings, when it was built to stand free, and to soar above the whole facade from the top of its second storey. ”

“ For example: If we had a new portal about the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force, called Portal:Royal Air Force, the obvious class would be U for Military Science. Within U, we have subclass UGA for Air Forces. Therefore, this new portal would be clearly classified with the call number UGA. As such, the classification part of the portal header would be completed like this:
| class = U | subclass1 = G | subclass2 = A Another example: If we had the new portal, Portal:Censorship, it might be more difficult to identify the correct class. ”

“ I've also removed the box as it seemed unnecessary and changed the portal image, since there are multiple in-site links, using the WS logo for only portals seemed odd. - Theornamentalist (talk) 22:31, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Far too 'busy' for my taste but I can honestly say your Portal icon makes far more visual sense than the current one being used. ”

“ I'm not deterred by the fact that we only have 2 at the moment as we have to start somewhere & once those go live it'll provide the impetus for others to start working on other portals. I don't see portals as replacing the lists of sources like Portal:Speeches but as supplementing them (at least for the speeches portal) , though I think having links from the main page would be a good idea as the portals can be like little min-main pages for the various sections introducing people to our holdings & trying to dragoon them into helping out. ”

“ These are:
portal, related_author wikipedia, wikispecies, commons, commonscat, wikiquote are typically applied from Wikidata data through interwiki links, or through linking of main subject (P921) so should only be used to override the default wikinews, wiktionary, wikibooks, wikiversity, meta For portal this would generally be added to the root page of a work, rather than added repeatedly for each subpage. Usage on a subpage would be useful where the subpage alone has a relationship with the specified portal, whereas the parent work does not have that relationship. ”

“ Another complete list of portals is the portals category, listed alphabetically as normal for a category. Alternatively, all portals within a specific class can be seen in the Portals by class category. All portals should be automatically categorised into both the first and one of the second categories. ”

“ Incorporate portal links into {{header}}'s sister links box I'd like to propose that we put portal links directly underneath sister links in main space headers. For several examples, see User:Spangineer/Sandbox3.
Details are there, but the idea is to expand the functionality of {{Plain sister}} to allow for up to three portal links, which would display in the same

box that the sister links appear in. —Spangineer (háblame) 18:28, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Support - I like it. What do you think of putting the WS portals on top? It seems like internal should maintain visual priority. ”

“ Creating too many new portals too soon can serve to dilute the overall subject area. Lots of similar portals with only a handful of works in each makes browsing and searching the portal-space tiresome and reduces the basic usefulness of an index. There is no minimum number of works for a portal. ”

“ Portals Portals are like author pages except that are about the subject of the book and not the author. Adding your book to a portal will put your book together with other books like it and help other people find your book. ”

“ When I had passed through the portal, I see large crowds of men, and some of them different from the others by the vestments that they wore. These stood apart in a recess, and showed the people what appeared an image, painted so daintily that the more a man gazed at it, the more he found in it to admire ”

“ This would seem to be one of the real promise of the Gateway Experience from the standpoint of its ability to provide a portal through which, based on months if not years of practice, the individual may pass in his search to find self, personal effectuality, and truth in the larger sense. ”

“ Also, in the main portals are four or five square holes or meurtrières in the arch, through which beams to form a stockade might be dropped. It may be observed further that although some of the portal passages are of considerable length, yet the ribs of their vaults are all transverse, never passing diagonally from an angle towards the centre, in the manner employed at Caldecot and elsewhere, to vault a compartment of such passages. ”

“ Usage Template for use in the portal namespace linking to other portals. It takes no parameters.
{{United States Executive Branch Navbox}} Where the portal page exists, then the link to that portal is an active link. Where the corresponding portal has not been created, then the link will appear as black text. Noting that to make a portal link active, create the actual portal Portal:Displayed name of portal page. ”

“ Finding it so directly on the threshold of our narrative, which is now about to issue from that inauspicious portal, we could hardly do otherwise than pluck one of its flowers, and present it to the reader. It may serve, let us hope, to symbolise some sweet moral blossom that may be found along the track, or relieve the darkening close of a tale of human frailty and sorrow. ”

There is no minimum to create a portal, there just has to be potential for a corpus of PD literature (and a relevant LoC code) . Yes, encyclopaedia articles are fine to start it off with. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 22:07, 8 August 2014 (UTC) Use your best judgment and common sense. Is the Portal one that has much content to list currently? Is it likely to grow much over the next year? Might the presence of the portal stimulate additional contributions? Does it have a clear parent portal to link from? Are visitors likely to look for such a portal? ”

“ Portal: pages are subsidiary pages, sort of like Author: pages but for works that are connected by something other than the author. They can be for things like documents produced by a government (i.e. doesn't have an individual human author) , or they can be more thematic, like Portal:Children's literature. ”

“ Portal title. parent: Parent portal (if applicable) . This overrides the default portal links in the title bar. Categorises into the hidden category Category:Portals linking to a parent class: The classification letter of the portal (see Portal:Index) subclass1: The first subclass letter of the portal (if applicable) subclass2: The second subclass letter of the portal (if applicable) number: The classification number of the portal (if applicable) . Not yet in use. midclass: Forces the display of both subclasses if both subclass1 and subclass2 are defined. ”

“ Header; Talk: Textinfo; Author: Author; Portal: Portal header; Help: & Wikisource: Process header — billinghurst sDrewth 15:08, 11 February 2013 (UTC) I also added Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Portal talk. Note that Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Portal preloads the wrong header.--Erasmo Barresi (talk) 10:51, 12 February 2013 (UTC) Removing portal review system Currently, all portals at least theoretically should be reviewed; it was an idea early in the process. There is a header parameter, a category and a talk page template to facilitate this. ”

“ When the tunnel for almost its entire length is driven on a tangent with a curve at each end.
(2) When the tunnel begins with a curve and ends with a straight line.
(3) When the whole tunnel is in curve from portal to portal.
(4) The helicoidal or corkscrew tunnel.
(1) The axis of every one of the great Alpine tunnels is a straight line, with a curve at each end. To range out the center line of one of these long tunnels from a curve, no matter how accurately laid out, will certainly cause an error, which, magnified with the distance, may produce serious results. ”

“ It required little fancy to feel that they had lived, and now in long procession came down the ages. The central portal is lofty, wide, and crowded with figures. The side is only less rich than the front. ”

“ This template creates the basic features of a year-based portal. Once created, such a portal will automatically keep itself up to date.
It uses Dynamic Page Lists as created for the Wikinews project, in a format based on Wikinews-style portals (eg. Portal:Aviation on Wikinews) .
Usage {{Portal by year}} Procedure Start a new portal Copy the text template into the new portal Save the page Important notes Any portal using this template must only use the year in the title, (ie. Portal:1922 or Portal:1588) . The template uses the page name as the basis for the dynamic page lists. ”

“ I care not how humble your bookshelf may be, nor how lowly the room which it adorns. Close the door of that room behind you, shut off with it all the cares of the outer world, plunge back into the soothing company of the great dead, and then you are through the magic portal into that fair land whither worry and vexation can follow you no more. You have left all that is vulgar and all that is sordid behind you. There stand your noble, silent comrades, waiting in their ranks. Pass your eye down their files. Choose your man. ”

“ She knew that this silent, motionless portal opened into the street; if the sidelights had not been filled with green paper she might have looked out upon the little brown stoop and the well-worn brick pavement. But she had no wish to look out, for this would have interfered with her theory that there was a strange, unseen place on the other side—a place which became to the child’s imagination, according to its different moods, a region of delight or of terror. ”

“ At each of the four "ends" of the earth were supposed to be three portals through the firmament, making thus twelve portals in all, through which from special chambers, issued the winds and storms, etc. From one of the three doors in the east side or "face" of the heaven, the southermost, came forth destruction, drought, heat and certain rains; from the middle one came forth "rain and fruitfulness and prosperity and dew" ”

“ Tolls may be paid at one gate.“Be it further enacted, That if more than one gate be erected upon said road, it shall be lawful for any person, desirous to do so, to pay the whole toll at any one gate, and, thereupon, the collector shall grant him a proper certificate thereof, which certificate shall be a sufficient warrant to procure his passage through the other gate. ”

“ Port to be established.Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That there shall, from and after the first day of April next, be established in the village of Fall River, near the mouth of Taunton Great river, in Massachusetts, a port of entry and delivery. ”

“ Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
who sin against us. ”

“ Grant us, Lord, the lamp of charity which never fails, that it may burn in us and shed its light on those around us, and that by its brightness we may have a vision of that holy City, where dwells the true and never-failing Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Lord God Almighty, as you have taught us to call the evening, the morning, and the noonday one day; and have made the sun to know its going down: Dispel the darkness of our hearts, that by your brightness we may know you to be the true God and eternal light, living and reigning for ever and ever. ”

“ May it shine continually to drive away all darkness. May Christ, the Morning Star who knows no setting, find it ever burning—he who gives his light to all creation, and who lives and reigns for ever and ever. ”

“ Every proposal for the construction of any port or harbour works or of any line of railway, shall, before being submitted to Parliament, be considered by the board, which shall report thereon, and shall advise whether the proposed works or line of railway should or should not be constructed. ”

“ The servants, alarmed by this, and the unearthly, fiendish yells that came from the banqueting hall, rushed upstairs, and there found the bodies of their master and mistress dead on the floor; and through the open window they saw, by the light of the moon which for a moment shone through a rift in the clouds, their souls borne away on the wings of a demon in the shape of a bird. ”
