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.

The following updates have been performed to the portal. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:05, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Consolidated contents from Portal:Punjab/Indices and Portal:Punjab/Wikiprojects to appear on the main portal page. These two subpages receive very little page views. Readers are only reading the main portal page, and were missing all of the information on these subpages.
• Updated portal using Template:Transclude random excerpt, providing current, up-to-date information that is verbatim to article content. A consensus approving the usage of transclusion templates in portals was formed at this Village Pump discussion. Used selections from Portal:Punjab/Selected article and Portal:Punjab/Selected biography.
• Added a new topics section (diff)
• Expanded the portal with more articles (diff, diff, diff, diff, diff, diff).

I would like to know the reason behind this. People of Himachal Pradesh & Haryana have distinct identities & wouldn't refer to themselves as Punjabi. While it is understandable that the map includes Indian Punjab & Pakistan's Punjab, Himachal & Haryana shouldn't be part of it. A major part of Himachal was never even part of Punjab during British time (they were simply Princely states). That map doesn't represents past nor does it represent current sentiments of the people. It only represents wrong understanding or some fantasy. I strongly oppose this & request an immediate removal of that map. If ignored (which has a high chance) I will be trying out other methods, as in calling other people to discuss this. Nik9hil (talk) 07:56, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nik9hil: Are you referring to the Clickable map by territory in the portal, or a map that appears in the General images section? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:22, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Northamerica1000: Thanks for replying. I am referring to the the clickable map that is present as template in different pages that have topics related to Punjab. That map is white in colour & includes present day India: Punjab, Haryana & Himachal Pradesh & Pakistan: Punjab. Nik9hil (talk) 08:31, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nik9hil: I went ahead and removed the clickable map. I'm not a Punjab expert, and am not versed in the finer points of the regional factors there, so from my standpoint, its removal is warranted per your concerns. Removal of the map also was not a big loss to the portal. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 09:47, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Northamerica1000:, I am happy that you responded to my concerns in the right spirit. Thank you. Nik9hil (talk) 09:52, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
