Image
The portal image names are stored in subpages of Module:Portal/images, organised by the first letter of the portal name. If there is an entry for a portal on the correct page then then the corresponding image will be shown next to the portal link. It is also possible to specify aliases for portal images. If no image is found then File:Portal-puzzle.svg will be shown instead. To add new images to the list make a protected edit request at Template talk:Portal to get an administrator to edit the correct subpage for you.
