This template is used to produce a link in a box to a portal.

Optional parameters

{{portal|name|image|size|boxsize|break=yes|left=yes|margin=|alt=Alt text|link=Link}}

The units assumed for size (the width of the image) and boxsize (the width of the box containing the image and portal link) are pixels (px). By default, the box is surrounded by a margin of width 0.5em, but this can be customized using margin=top right bottom left (e.g. margin=0.25em 0 0.25em 0.25em) or removed using margin=0 (zero).

Normally the image are assumed to be purely decorative, and no link is generated for it; in this case the image should not have a license that requires attribution, for technical reasons involving copyright law and the current implementation of Wikipedia. However, if alt=Alt text is specified (see WP:ALT), a link to the image's page is generated; this link can be overridden with link=Page to link to. As per WP:ALT, if a link is specified, alt text for that link's function should also be specified.

Location
