Template:Portal bar/doc

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

Usage

To add the template to a page, use the following code:

{{Portal bar|portal 1|portal 2|...}}

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

{{Portal bar|portal 1|portal 2|...|border=no}}

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.
