[edit] Creating Portals
Main portals are very important, they should be an overview of a topic that does not assume the visitor has extensive prior knowledge of the topic but clean and efficent so that those that do can quickly navigate to pages, or higher levels of detail. Portals can be much more direct and specific or more general; the more general the name of the portal the more friendly it should be to those new to the topic. This is an area that should be free of minute detail and speak of the greater vision and ideals and direct to pages of detailed information. Think of a table of contents of pages of related topics.
Portals: See Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Portal for more information on creating portals
