<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION AFTER THIS LINE --><br />
<br />
This template generates a box for a portal home page. The content is drawn randomly from a pre-defined list.<br />
<br />
== Layout ==<br />
<pre><br />
{{Random portal component<br />
|max =<br />
|template =<br />
|header =<br />
|footer =<br />
|subpage = <br />
|rootpage =<br />
|headertemplate = <br />
}}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
* '''header''': (Optional) The header text of the box. If no header is passed to the template, the default is the subpage name.<br />
* '''footer''': (Optional) The footer text in the box. E.g. ''Nominations for selected picture''.<br />
* '''rootpage''': (Optional) The root of the transcluded page, e.g. ''Portal:Foo''.<br />
* '''subpage''': The subpage of the transcluded page, e.g. ''Selected picture''.<br />
* '''max''': The maximum number of sub-subpages. Must be a positive integer.<br />
* '''headertemplate''': (Optional) The name of the template to use for the box header, e.g. {{code|Box-header/10}} for [[Template:Box-header/10]]; default is the portal's {{code|/box-header}} subpage<br />
<br />
=== Formatting subpages ===<br />
* Create a sub-page first. If your portal is {{code|Portal:Foo}}, then a sub-page could be {{code|Portal:Foo/Selected bar}}.<br />
* On the {{code|Portal:Foo/Selected bar}} sub-page, place the template {{tl|numbered subpages}} on the page and save it.<br />
* Once the list of subject links have been created, use one of the {{code|Selected <subject>}} templates from below to format each of the subject sub-pages.<br />
* This template calls {{code|/box-header}} (if {{code|headertemplate}} is not specified) and {{tl|box-footer}} for its color styles and closing. Either {{code|headertemplate}} must be used, or the {{code|/box-header}} subpage must exist for everything to work correctly.<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
To see a real time example, see [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:{{BASEPAGENAME}}&hidelinks=1|what links here]] (the list of pages that currently transclude the {{tl|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} template).<br />
<br />
Here is a stale example of the output generated by this template.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
{{Box-header | title=Header<br />
|editpage = Template:Lorem ipsum<br />
|border = Black<br />
|titleforeground = #ffe247<br />
|titlebackground = #646464<br />
|background = #FFFFFF<br />
|foreground = black<br />
}}<br />
{{Lorem ipsum}}<br />
{{Box-footer | Footer }}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
will produce:<br />
<br />
{{Box-header | title=Header<br />
|editpage = Template:Lorem ipsum<br />
|border = Black <br />
|titleforeground = #ffe247<br />
|titlebackground = #646464<br />
|background = #FFFFFF<br />
|foreground = black}}<br />
{{Lorem ipsum}}<br />
{{Box-footer | Footer }}<br />
