Suggestion: Dedicated portal for articles relating to embedded/hardware topics (which would be in line with numerous threads on the forum, as well as existing articles on the wiki). - [[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 11:59, 17 February 2020 (EST)

: That is slightly less complicated than you might think.  What you would do is to create a new page with the prefix <code>Portal:</code> and a suitable name, say for example [[Portal:Hardware development]], [[Portal:Cockpit hardware]] or [[Portal:DIY cockpit hardware]], or maybe [[Portal:Hardware]] if you would also like to see commercial hardware there, and then copy and modify the content from a similar portal.
: Hint: There is actually not a portal [[Help:Namespaces|namespace]], it is just a prefix. The portal pages are actually in the main namespaces, and thus function just like any other article page on the wiki.
