This included most of the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Category:Top_10&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Category:Top 10 (page does not exist)">Top 10</a> portals linked directly to the Main Page. I discovered that the problem (two problems, actually) was with the <a href="/wiki/Template:Box_portal_skeleton" title="Template:Box portal skeleton">Template:Box portal skeleton</a> used to create the portals. I fixed the template, and then worked my way through fixing the 250 some odd portals that inherited the bad formatting when they <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SUBST" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SUBST">subst'ed</a> the template. While working my way through the portals, I cleaned up a number of other formatting issues I noticed. </p><p>At the end of recategorizing the portals (see <a href="#Other_categories">Other categories</a> above) and fixing the formatting issues, more than 1 in 3 portals had some type of format problem. The vast majority of these were caused by errors in the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Box_portal_skeleton" title="Template:Box portal skeleton">box portal skeleton</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> template, although there were a number of other creative problems encountered. In the end I fixed over 100 portal pages as well as recategorizing many of them. </p><p>The whole rather involved project started with just fixing a problem on one portal, then noticing the same problem on another page, and it just sort of snowballed from there.
