 :I do not know what the percentage is like, but Wikipedia definitely does use portal pages. Here are a few examples: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Zimbabwe Zimbabwe], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Norway Norway], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Singapore Singapore], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Istanbul Istanbul], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Utah Utah], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:United_States United States]. Yes, I realize that they many (or maybe all) of these pages may have regular articles in addition to portals. My point is just that they do exist.

+:Thomas, if you check the history, there are little contributions compared to the ones not in portals. Knock portals out of urls, you get the much much more information and the public don't even know they exist. Utah portal in Wikipedia is a joke, little information and fewer links and oversized boxes. Again, the public users do NOT even see those portals! The unportal Utah has far more edits and more information. The key is the ease of editing and updating. The portals give me quite an headache trying to edit and update.
