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. This template is bottom matter and goes below standard navigation templates, and above geographical coordinates and authority control templates.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Portal bar (sandbox)

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:

→ {{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:

Tracking is specially disabled for that usage. This is done by setting the optional parameter |tracking= to any the following values: no, n, false
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", "/sandbox"
