An arbitration case regarding Portals has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

• BrownHairedGirl is prohibited from editing in the Portal: namespace or engaging in discussions about portals anywhere on Wikipedia. She may appeal this restriction in six months.
• BrownHairedGirl is indefinitely restricted from interacting with or commenting about Northamerica1000 anywhere on Wikipedia, subject to the ordinary exceptions. This restriction may be appealed in six months.
• For numerous violations of basic policies and generally failing to meet community expectations and responsibilities as outlined in Wikipedia:Administrators#Accountability and Wikipedia:Administrators#Administrator conduct, BrownHairedGirl is desysopped. She may regain the administrative tools at any time via a successful request for adminship.
• The Arbitration Committee recommends that a well-publicized community discussion be held to establish a guideline for portals. The committee further recommends that this RfC be kept open for at least 30 days, be closed by a panel of 3 uninvolved administrators, and at a minimum address the following questions:

• Topics: How broad or narrow should a topic area be for it to sustain a portal?
• Page views: Should there be a minimum number of page views for a portal to be considered viable? How should those page views be measured?
• WikiProjects: Should portals be required to be connected to an active WikiProject or other group of maintainers?
• Updates: How often should a portal be updated?
• Automation: Can automated tools be used in the creation or maintenance of portals?
• Links to portals: How should portals be used? Should they be linked on all relevant Wikipedia articles, or should another method be used to ensure that portals are viewed and used?
