Instructions for adding a portal link to articles
{{
Portal|Hispanic and Latino Americans}}
-add this text to the "external links" section of any hispanic american related article to create a link to this portal.All of this is completely biased. The portal tries to make the reader believe that the majority of Latin Americans living in the US prefer the term "Latino" which is not the case. Most of us detest that artificial label.
The result of the move request was: Move. Jafeluv ( talk) 21:51, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Portal:Latino and Hispanic American → Portal:Hispanic and Latino Americans —
very moribund portal. ive given it a slight facelift. i would like to list the mid to top importance, C class to FA class articles here, to use in the "topics" section and others.
All of these articles are about hispanic american topics (not just hispanic, as in nations, etc), and are well written (c, b, a, GA, FA class):

There is no category for featured pictures at the latin america project, so here are some images i have found in various ways:

I was reviewing the edit history of the portal. I see that the selected image, article, and lead article were originally all US centric, while the "topics" ranged over all of the americas. The portal name seems to indicate this was intended to be about the latino population of the united states, not of the Americas. I am not sure now what is to be done with this. the Wikiproject associated with this portal is moribund as well. I think i need to remove the latin american content here, as the portal for latin america should cover that. It was very confusing: we had the flag for ALL latin peoples in the lead article.
This portal is intended to cover the topic of latino/hispanic people of the United States. Articles only tangentially related to this, such as Latin Jazz, should NOT be shown here.
If anyone who cares has any other opinion about this, please comment here. Im sorry if i got confused, but it was because previous editors had made a mess of it. Its also confusing to hear hispanic and latino used for the US only. i thought the terms were used more broadly. my error.

added portal to all B, C, GA, FA latino articles. next up, start. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 17:58, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
I will attempt to add new material every 4 months, so the next editing phase will be in early july, as my first wave of edits began early March. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 16:27, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
selected article, selected biography, selected image, and selected past DYK are all now chosen randomly. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 03:13, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

I have stopped updating the DYK with new items, and will allow for the random rotation through what we have now (12 selections). thus, any new DYK's since october are not going to be here. however, this portal doesnt need anyone to keep it up to date now, so my doing less here shouldnt matter.

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, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are 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.
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 task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:32, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
