Adding "This template is well sued for when a regular {{portal}} would leak into the next section." Most of the wording was adapted from a post by User:Cast at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2011 July 2#Template:Portal bar

This template is well sued for articles reference more portals than related articles in the "See also" section, which would make a regular {{tl|portal}} sprawl into the next section.
{{Warning|'''This template is only transcluded (visible) in mobile view when the <code><nowiki>border=n</nowiki></code> parameter  is implemented'''. See [[Wikipedia:Portal#How to add portal links to articles|how to add portal links to articles]] for more information.}}
{{Warning|{{strong|This template does not belong in the "See also" section.}} Per [[MOS:SECTIONORDER]], this template is bottom matter and goes below standard navigation templates, and above geographical coordinates and authority control templates.}}


It does not have widespread support so its usage should be considered carefully. For instance, it should not be used if there is only one portal that needs displaying.
The primary purpose of this template is for when using {{tlx|portal}} would cause formatting problems. This template forms a horizontal bar instead of a vertical, sidebar-like template. Please note that this template {{strong|[[MOS:ORDER|does not belong]]}} in the "See also" section.
=== Usage ===
This template will take up to eighteen portal links. To add the template to a page, simply use the following code:


<pre>
{{Lua|Module:Portal bar}}
<nowiki>{{Portal bar|portal 1|portal 2|...|portal 18}}</nowiki>
</pre>


===Example===
== Usage ==
<pre>
{{xref|See {{section link|Module:Portal|Image}} on how to add, update, or remove portal images.}}
<nowiki>{{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science}}</nowiki>
</pre>


This yields:
=== Border ===
To add the template to a page:
: &rarr; <code><nowiki>{{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science}}</nowiki></code>
{{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science}}
 
=== No border ===
For a version with no border that can be seen in [[WP:MOBILE|mobile view]]:
: &rarr; <code><nowiki>{{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science|border=n}}</nowiki></code>
{{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science|border=n}}
 
Portal bar with border extends to the full width of the article, and that can be a problem with right-floating items. To use space better, remove the border.
 
== Error tracking ==
If the {{{type|template}}} is used incorrectly, the page will be added to a tracking category.
 
The tracking categories are not applied if any of the following is true:
# Tracking is specially disabled for that usage. This is done by setting the optional parameter {{para|tracking}} to any the following values: <code><nowiki>no</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>n</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>false</nowiki></code>
# the template is used on a page in any of these namespaces: Talk, User, User talk, Wikipedia talk, File talk, Template talk, Category talk, Portal talk, Draft, Draft talk, Module talk
# The title page on which the template is used includes any of the following case-insensitive strings: "/archive", "/doc", "/test"

The primary purpose of this template is for when using {{portal}} would cause formatting problems. This template forms a horizontal bar instead of a vertical, sidebar-like template. Please note that this template does not belong in the "See also" section.

Usage

See Module:Portal § Image on how to add, update, or remove portal images.

Border

To add the template to a page:

→ {{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science}}


No border

For a version with no border that can be seen in mobile view:

→ {{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science|border=n}}


Portal bar with border extends to the full width of the article, and that can be a problem with right-floating items. To use space better, remove the border.

Error tracking

If the template is used incorrectly, the page will be added to a tracking category.

The tracking categories are not applied if any of the following is true:

  1. Tracking is specially disabled for that usage. This is done by setting the optional parameter |tracking= to any the following values: no, n, false
  2. the template is used on a page in any of these namespaces: Talk, User, User talk, Wikipedia talk, File talk, Template talk, Category talk, Portal talk, Draft, Draft talk, Module talk
  3. The title page on which the template is used includes any of the following case-insensitive strings: "/archive", "/doc", "/test"
Purge page to update totals
