Re: [discovery] [Wikitech-ambassadors] Wikipedia.org portal page update!

Hi David, Thanks for the kind comments! I've created a phabricator ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129748> for this comment: I've also updated this ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129696> with your screen shot: I believe the license (and other icons that we don't display on the page) are meant for browsers, app, etc that look for that type of information if their site requires uses of it's display. As for future work of this nature being completed on the wikimedia.org portal site, that's TBD at this point. I'd like to investigate how much traffic actually goes to that portal page (ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129750>). Also - there is no set order of the sister project links at the bottom of the page as far as aligning with other wiki pages listing the sister projects. Thanks again!
