Anyone feel like de-buzzwording the line 'a framework for integrating information, applications, and processes across organizational boundaries' Tmcw 22:41, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Had to revert - someone had introduced some really bad spelling errors and an inane "what's up cameron". --208.49.99.3 23:08, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

This page is pretty useless. It should be replaced with the definition of a portal from Wiktionary: (Internet) A website that acts as an entrance to other websites on the Internet. Wes —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.103.138.213 (talk) 20:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Should this not be Portal (Disambiguation) instead? -Vincetti (talk) 21:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

No, because that would imply that a separate Portal page exists. It would be possible to move this to Portal (disambiguation) and move one of (or merge) the main articles to Portal. GreenReaper (talk) 01:48, 10 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Definition in science fiction and fantasy?

[edit]

The first thing I think of when I hear portal is a gateway to another place or time, usually far away. This is definition #4 on wikitionary, but I can't find any mention on wikipedia. I remember reading an article about this at some point, but I cant find it. If anyone knows where this article is located, please add it to the disambiguation page. 70.162.91.182 (talk) 04:49, 17 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

The article got deleted: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Portals in fiction. There's a copy of it at http://deletionpedia.org/en/Portals_in_fiction. It appears the consensus for deletion wasn't particularly strong, and a re-creation of the article with better sources should be on the table. If that happens, then there are about a dozen dependent pages (like redirects) to be restored , as well as at least 162 removed incoming links to be re-introduced. – Uanfala (talk) 13:12, 10 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
I see an article exists about the concept in video games: Warp (video games). Still, it's got a much narrower scope. – Uanfala (talk) 23:22, 28 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
