I have created Portal:Formula One/Sisterprojects. I would like to see this appear as a footer on the portal's next race section. Working out which template to edit is quite daunting, because this should be a way of optionally including such an invitation on any portal where it might be appropriate.
As I see it, the main thing I would change on the page I have developed, or implement in whatever template is changed to allow for its conditional inclusion, is to make the text small.
I'm being impatient here, I'm curmudgeonly and get away with pushing things like this through on Wikinews in a matter of hours most of the time. The portal page currently lists recent Wikinews articles that are relevant, and I'm really grateful that's being done. This might be considered a bit too much emphasis on contributing to sister projects, but it is in the portal namespace, Wikinews regularly has race reports featured in the portal's news list (these are contributed by a non-native speaker), getting people to come and copyedit would be a great help, and Wikinews allows original reporting which is a strict no-no on Wikipedia. Everyone wins from Commons picture uploads too.
Yes, I'm picking on Formula One as somewhere to try this out. I would like to make it a trial with a little wider use, and sport would be good because Wikinews doesn't get a lot of contributions there. --Brian McNeil /talk23:12, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Argh - didn't think the "right" way to do that was in the portal page itself. But if testing the water that's probably a better approach. Saw your minor edit to your comment, then looked at your talk page and saw a F1 comment. Wikinews has a template for articles written from broadcast reports/live coverage, comes under the original reporting policy. If you direct people to Wikinews when they want to write that quickly then, as I often watch races and qualifying live, I can review and publish them - then they'll appear in the box of wikinews articles on the portal. --Brian McNeil /talk00:26, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have considered using that template in the past, but very few other Wikimedia projects have F1 on them, so most of those links are redlinks. Apterygial06:47, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
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.
In the box mentioning the US GP as the next race (and Mexico after that), should the previous race be the Turkish GP? I can't see through the templates to see how to alter it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.9.119.140 (talk) 11:26, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Needs updating again - are these being pulled from somewhere else (now next event is the Brazilian GP and the Mexican GP has happened). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.9.119.140 (talk) 12:47, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Update the next race to Australian GP and change the flag in the Constructors' standings for RBR to Austrian. Not sure why a USA flag is showing up. I would do it myself but I can't figure out how :) DerVogel999 (talk) 13:58, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@MKL123: There's a draft article here. It's previously been rejected for transfer to mainspace (I'm not really sure why; we have "list of wins" articles for Damon Hill and Nico Rosberg, both of whom have fewer wins and championships than Verstappen). FYI, there probably aren't very many people watching this page; in future you'd probably be better off starting discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Formula One. Regards.
