== Sisterprojects ==

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.

If I have worked out all the template includes correctly, the template that would need edited is [[Template:Box-footer]] and I am very, very wary of touching that considering how widely used it is. --''[[Wikinews:User:Brian McNeil|Brian McNeil]] /<sup>[[Wikinews:User talk:Brian McNeil|talk]]</sup>'' 20:39, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
: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. --''[[Wikinews:User:Brian McNeil|Brian McNeil]] /<sup>[[Wikinews:User talk:Brian McNeil|talk]]</sup>'' 23:12, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

::Sorry for the delay. I [[Australia|live out of step]] with the rest of the world. I added it. <span style="font-family:Impact;">[[User:Apterygial|<span style="color:#006400;">Aptery</span>]][[User talk:Apterygial|<span style="color:#006400;">gial</span>]]</span> 23:28, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
:::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. --''[[Wikinews:User:Brian McNeil|Brian McNeil]] /<sup>[[Wikinews:User talk:Brian McNeil|talk]]</sup>'' 00:26, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
'''Comment:''' The standard for portals on Wikipedia is to use {{tl|WikimediaForPortals}}. I have done so, at [[Portal:Formula One/Wikimedia]]. '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk:Cirt|talk]]) 04:16, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
: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. <span style="font-family:Impact;">[[User:Apterygial|<span style="color:#006400;">Aptery</span>]][[User talk:Apterygial|<span style="color:#006400;">gial</span>]]</span> 06:47, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
::That is okay because it is still worthwhile to use the search function for the other projects. '''[[User:Cirt|Cirt]]''' ([[User talk:Cirt|talk]]) 16:51, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

== Notice from the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]] ==

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|WikiProject Portals]] is back!

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, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Project members|membership]] is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are '''[[WT:WPPORT|design initiatives]]''' for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: [[Template:Transclude lead excerpt]] and [[Template:Transclude random excerpt]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Tools|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 '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Portals#New_Project_tasks|task list]]'''.

From your friendly neighborhood [[WP:WPPORT|Portals WikiProject]]. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,   <span class="nowrap">&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; ''[[User talk:The Transhumanist|The&nbsp;Transhumanist]]''&nbsp;&nbsp; </span> 07:30, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

== Previous event? ==

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.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/51.9.119.140|51.9.119.140]] ([[User talk:51.9.119.140#top|talk]]) 11:26, 21 October 2021 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Yes it should be. Fixed. Thanks for pointing out the error. [[User:DH85868993|DH85868993]] ([[User talk:DH85868993|talk]]) 12:01, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
:: Needs updating again - are these being pulled from somewhere else (now next event is the Brazilian GP and the Mexican GP has happened).  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/51.9.119.140|51.9.119.140]] ([[User talk:51.9.119.140#top|talk]]) 12:47, 2 November 2021 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:::{{fixed}}. The next event auto-updates based on the switch statement contained within [[Portal:Formula One/Next Grand Prix]] (you'll need to edit that page to see it). [[User:DH85868993|DH85868993]] ([[User talk:DH85868993|talk]]) 21:25, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

== DYKs ==

Hello, I've posted some new DYKs a while back but someone has yet to take a look at them. I would appreciate it if you could! [[User:Obama gaming|Obama gaming]] ([[User talk:Obama gaming|talk]]) 23:57, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

== Two changes needed ==

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 :) [[User:DerVogel999|DerVogel999]] ([[User talk:DerVogel999|talk]]) 13:58, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
:{{ping|DerVogel999}} Thanks for pointing out the errors, which are both now fixed. FYI, the championship standings are defined at [[Portal:Formula One/Championship standings]]. There was a USA flag for RBR because I forgot to update the flagicon when I updated the standings after the Saudi Arabian GP. The next Grand Prix is defined by [[Portal:Formula One/Next Grand Prix]].

== Article creation request==
Hi everyone just wondering would anybody be willing to create article listing [[Max Verstappen|Max Verstappen's]] race wins . A list of Verstappen's race wins can be found here: https://www.statsf1.com/en/max-verstappen/victoire.aspx--[[User:MKL123|MKL123]] ([[User talk:MKL123|talk]]) 14:36, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
:{{reply|MKL123}} There's a draft article [[Draft:List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Max Verstappen|here]]. It's previously been rejected for transfer to mainspace (I'm not really sure why; we have "list of wins" articles for [[List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Damon Hill|Damon Hill]] and [[List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Nico Rosberg|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.
