It is NOT Portuguese. I speak Spanish, and have studied French, Italian and a little Portuguese. It might be Romanian. I tried reading it and it seems to be a variant of a Romance language, and I think it is instructions about using Wikipedia. I don’t know what it has to do with this particular article. For the curious here is a link to sample basic phrases. I can see various similarities to the languages I have studied.

Columbus? Not a hard man to track, leaves dead Indians wherever he goes.
I think it’s pretty clear it’s Romanian. I mentioned Portuguese because of the subject of the article and before I figured out Romanian.
Google translate detected it as Romanian.
