This template produces a box with links to a portal or to multiple portals. It is most often used in the "See also" section of an article. If a portal does not exist, then it will not be displayed. As of December 11, 2021 (UTC), this portal template is now mobile-friendly, meaning that the portal links will appear on mobile devices.
Usage
Lua error in mw.title.lua at line 404: bad argument #2 to 'title.new' (unrecognized namespace name 'Portal').
Basic usage
{{Portal |Portal 1 |Portal 2 |Portal 3 |... }}
Location
Within articles, this template is meant to be placed at the top of the article's See also section. If there is no See also section, you may put it in the External links section instead, if other external links are in the article. Do not create an "External links" section just for this box: if there is no External links section, consider using Template:Tl at the end of the article. If using Template:Tl, considering combining it with links to sister projects via Template:Tl.
There are no particular rules about the placement of portals on other kinds of pages.
Image
The portal image names are stored in subpages of Module:Portal/images, organised by the first letter of the portal name. For example, the first letter of Portal:Feminism is "F", so the image name is stored at Module:Portal/images/f. If there is an entry for a portal on the correct page then the corresponding image will be shown next to the portal link. If no image is found then File:Portal-puzzle.svg will be shown instead.
It is also possible to specify aliases for portal images. For example, the code Template:Tlx produces the same image as the code Template:Tlx. The "Detroit" alias is found on the page Module:Portal/images/aliases.
The image-detection algorithm is case-insensitive. For example, the code Template:Tlx will produce the same image as the code Template:Tlx (although the portal links will be different). Portal names are stored in lower case in the image subpages, and input is converted to lower case before being checked.
To add new images to the list, please make a protected edit request at Template talk:Portal to get an administrator to edit the correct subpage for you. Portal images must be either in the public domain or available under a free license that allows commercial reuse and derivative works; fair-use images are not acceptable. The template Template:Tl may be of use when deciding whether an image is suitable for use as a portal icon; it formats an image using the same size and style that the Template:Tl template uses by default.
A list of portals and aliases of portals without icons can be found at Category:Portal templates with default image.
