Template:Related portals/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Related portals.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Portal bar (sandbox)

Purpose

Easy-to-use template for creating icon tables of related portals for portal pages. Friendly to wide and narrow screens alike, including mobile, and does not require hardcoding icons, etc.

Usage

Similar to the Template:Portal inline box; simply provide a list of related portals to show, such as:

{{Related portals|Agriculture and Agronomy|Medicine|Schools|Spain}}

Lua error: bad argument #2 to 'title.new' (unrecognized namespace name 'Portal').

Wide and narrow screens

This system uses CSS flexbox to fit within the browser's window, which allows it to scale to wide screens and narrow ones, like on mobile:

Lua error: bad argument #2 to 'title.new' (unrecognized namespace name 'Portal').

Image

The portal image name is found using Module:Portal. Please see Module:Portal#Image for instructions on how to add, update, or remove an image.
