Wikiportals are Wikipedia pages intended to be the main pages for Wikipedians interested in a specific area of knowledge, helping both to find the information on the specific topic and to develop articles connected with it. As with the rest of Wikipedia, they can be edited and updated by anyone. If you are interested in contributing to a wikiportal, or even starting a new one, look into this page.

Currently there are 13 Wikiportals.

Mathematical knowledge is constantly growing, through research and application, but mathematics itself is not usually considered a natural science. The specific structures that are investigated by mathematicians often do have their origin in the natural sciences though, most commonly in physics.
Music		Music is a word whose accepted definitions vary with time, place and culture. It is said to be an art, or form of entertainment, it is also often defined by contrast with noise or speech.

Sport and games		A sport is a physical activity or skill carried out under a publicly agreed set of rules, and with a recreational purpose: for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of skill, or some combination of these.

A game is a recreational activity involving one or more players, defined by a goal that the players try to reach, and some set of rules that determines what the players can do. Games are played primarily for entertainment or enjoyment, but may also serve an educational or simulational role.
