{{u|dcljr}}, what do you think about automating the "Selected article" section using {{tl|Transclude list item excerpts as random slideshow}}? This can be done after {{u|JL-Bot}} populates the section #Recognized content above. For an example of how it works, see Portal:Sports and its list of articles populated by the bot. —⁠andrybak (talk) 18:14, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

::{{u|Dcljr}}, JL-Bot has updated the section above. 48 featured and good articles in total. Perhaps, more templates and categories could be added to the current list, which I made from Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory/Science#Mathematics. —⁠andrybak (talk) 16:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

::The bot output has been moved to Portal:Mathematics/Recognized content. —⁠andrybak (talk) 15:12, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

:: Here's a demo of how this would look like:

{{Transclude list item excerpts as random slideshow | paragraphs=1-2 | files=1 | limit=15 | more=

| Portal:Mathematics/Recognized content

}}

{{u|dcljr}}, please see the added captions:

If that's enough, I'll remove the disclaimer and add these pictures to the rotation on the portal's page. —⁠andrybak (talk) 13:29, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

: I did it, thanks. (I still plan to do additional copyediting/expansion of the description text for each, but what's currently there will do for now.) - dcljr (talk) 02:16, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
