Portal:Bacon

Narrow scope WP:REDUNDANTFORK of navbox Template:Bacon.

This is currently a pseudo-portal, an automated portal whose "selected articles" list is a randomly-chosen subset of the navbox's contents.

It was created in 2010 as an old-style manual portal, but by the times of its last manual version in August 2018‎[1] it offered slim pickings: it worked fine, but Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Bacon shows only 4 articles and 3 dishes. The navbox offers a much wider choice of articles, and since mouseover offers un-logged-in readers a preview of each link, the portal's snippet summary adds no value. So it was converted[2] in Sept 2018 to the automated format.

So far as I can see, every version of this portal offer inferior navigation and inferior showcasing o the navbox. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:19, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Old portal, 59 subpages, created 2010-10-19 08:01:36 by User:Cirt. A comment by a maintainer, if any, could make the day. Portal:Bacon. Pldx1 (talk) 15:10, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - One should add that this portal provides also a Selected anniversaries feature. Most of them are empty, but the November page links to November - Annual Zeeuws spek competition in the Netherlands, with edit summary "added something". And indeed, Zeeuws spek seems to be a great thing ! Pldx1 (talk) 15:36, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As per analysis by BHG. Bacon should be eaten, not portalized. Original author of portal is not active, and modifiers of portal are just the portal platoon. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:17, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, unless Cirt wants to come out of retirement to expand it. Cirt was a very prolific portal creator, and many of theirs were of high quality, but they don't seem to have been active since April 2016. I've never really seen the merit of portals for individual foodstuffs, and with a total of 7 articles and 3 images, this does nothing to convert me.

Delete there is only so many pages about bacon so it has to pull pages about foods that include bacon. Too narrow a topic. Legacypac (talk) 05:30, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
