Tɛmplet:Portalbar/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Tɛmplet:Portalbar.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original tɛmplet page.

This template is used on approximately 9,600 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

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 uses Lua:

Module:Portal bar

Tɛmplet:Portal information sidebar

Usage

Tɛmplet:Xref

Border

To add the template to a page:

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

Lua bi niŋ dede:bad argument #2 to 'title.new' (unrecognized namespace name 'Portal')

No border

For a version with no border:

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

Lua bi niŋ dede:bad argument #2 to 'title.new' (unrecognized namespace name 'Portal')

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"
