Quote:

• Portal cannot be cast in combat. In addition, portals cannot be cast inside PvP battlegrounds.

Actually portals can be cast while you waiting for arena start(tested only in 1vs1)

Gamepedia isn't exactly known for providing accurate data on anything.

Wowhead comments don't count either. Tooltip doesn't say anything about it.

No matter what, it's low priority anyway, considering the people that leave with a portal get deserter.

[Trove]

I don't think a bug that allows Griefing should be low priority.

Bug description:
Mages on WoW-Freakz can create portals in active battlegrounds (after the prep time). This was not possible on retail as of June 14, 2017. This is the time period of patch 7.2.5, before patch 7.3.5 was released. This fix was released to prevent player griefing. Players who inadvertently click on it not only get kicked out, but get the deserter debuff.

While dates are not given, this current/intended functionality is also confirmed on every wow wiki. Wiki's say it is not possible to do in battlegrounds at all, but I'm not sure if that was in the 7.2.5 patch.

Proof:

It was a stealth fix, so there are no patch notes, but you can see evidence of the fix by looking online:


Below is proof that it is possible on WoW-Freakz. In the center you can see multiple portals. In the lower-right chat, you can see Watchmeflex (a mage if you look up the name in the armory) taking credit for the player griefing.
