Since some people on this mailing list have previously asked to be made aware of polls on the wiki, here is a new one. It addresses what links to remove from the sidebar so we can add a link to the Community Portal page. It's actually a revised and restarted version of the old poll, which ended up being too confusing and did not have a clear result.

I hadn't followed this debate until now. Some people have other things to do. But I see that the vote avoids the whole issue of alternatives to having a "Community Portal" page at all.
