I am trying to use Template:box portal skeleton to make a portal. That portal format seems to be the current dominant one at the English language Wikipedia. I like it because it hase edit "buttons" for each section.

I made a new page to replace the old version of Science Portal at Portal:Sciencenew. There are a bunch of sub-templates used by "Template:box portal skeleton", so it is useful to work in parallel at Wikipedia to debug the problems arising from templates that do not yet exist at Wikiversity. I started creating a portal page at Wikipedia (see w:Portal:Protoscience) for this purpose.

I'm changing Template:box portal skeleton to place a list of major portals near the bottom rather than the top. I also made a few changes to the "box" names in order to adapt them to Wikiversity. The last three sections need to be updated with information from the other major science-related portals, Engineering and Technology - Life Sciences - Mathematics - Physical Sciences - Social Sciences.

Update. The Science Portal was updated as described above.
