-<strong>How to update this portal</strong>
-<ul>
-<li>Use brief, date-stamped entries that link back into the hierarchy (Gene Pool → Growing Region → Growing Area → Appellation → Field → Accession) wherever possible.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}</li>
-<li>When an event directly affects a documented accession, update the accession and related region pages so conservation and status fields stay aligned.</li>
-<li>Archive older items by moving them to subpages such as <code>Portal:Current_Events/Archive_2025</code>.</li>
