ମଡ୍ୟୁଲ:Portal
 | This Lua module is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
This module has two functions, portal and image. The portal produces a box with links to a portal or to multiple portals, and is used by the {{portal}} template. It is most often used in the "See also" section of an article. The image function produces the name of the image used by the specified portal.
Portal function
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThe portal function produces a box of portal links.
Usage
ସମ୍ପାଦନାଲୁଆ ତ୍ରୁଟି: bad argument #2 to 'title.new' (unrecognized namespace name 'Portal') ।
- Basic usage
{{#invoke:Portal|portal |Portal 1 |Portal 2 |Portal 3 |... }}
- All options
{{#invoke:Portal|portal
| Portal 1
| Portal 2
| Portal 3
| ...
| left =
| margin =
| break =
| boxsize =
}}
Location
ସମ୍ପାଦନାWithin articles, the output of the portal function is meant to be placed at the bottom of the article in the See also section. If there is no See also section, you can put it in the External links section instead; there is no need to create a new section just to house this template. If there is no External links section either, just put it below the article text in the place that seems most appropriate.
There are no particular rules about the placement of portals on other kinds of pages.
Image
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThe 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:Fishing 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 {{portal|Detroit}} produces the same image as the code {{portal|Metro Detroit}}. The "Detroit" alias is found on the page Module:Portal/images/aliases.
The image-detection algorithm is case-insensitive. For example, the code {{portal|Detroit}} will produce the same image as the code {{portal|detroit}} (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 {{Portal icon demonstration}} 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 {{portal}} template uses by default.

Example
ସମ୍ପାଦନା| Code | Result |
|---|---|
{{#invoke:Portal|portal|Science}}
|
ଲୁଆ ତ୍ରୁଟି: bad argument #2 to 'title.new' (unrecognized namespace name 'Portal') । |
Parameters
ସମ୍ପାଦନା| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
1, 2, 3 ... |
The portal name, e.g. Literature |
The positional parameters specify the portals to be displayed. |
left |
yes |
If set to yes, the portal appears on the left side of the page instead of the right.
|
margin |
CSS margin value, e.g. 1.2em 3em 0.5em 1em |
This allows you to set a custom margin. All valid CSS margin values are accepted. |
break |
yes |
If set to yes, a line break is inserted after the portal name and before the word portal.
|
boxsize |
Size in pixels, e.g. 300 |
This sets a custom box width in pixels. |
Maintenance
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThe following tracking category lists instances where the module is used incorrectly:
Image function
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThe image function produces the name of the image used by the specified portal.
Usage
ସମ୍ପାଦନା{{#invoke:Portal|image|portal}}
Example
ସମ୍ପାଦନା{{#invoke:Portal|image|Art}}→ Ballerina-icon.jpg
Image dupes function
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThe image dupes function returns a list of all images that are being used by more than one portal (aliases are not included). This can be helpful in identifying image entries that should be changed to use aliases.
Usage
ସମ୍ପାଦନା{{#invoke:Portal|imageDupes}}
Display all function
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThe display all function returns a box containing all portals that have images. This is used for maintenance, and should not be displayed in articles, because a) there are around 1500 portals with images, and displaying 1500 images on one page takes up a lot of server resources, and b) the module has no way to know the correct capitalisation of a portal name, so some links to portals will be broken. This function can be seen at Template:Portal/doc/all.
Usage
ସମ୍ପାଦନା{{#invoke:Portal|displayAll}}
--[==[ This module is a Lua implementation of the old {{Portal}} template. As of February 2019 it is used on nearly 7,900,000 articles.
-- Please take care when updating it! It outputs two functions: p.portal, which generates a list of portals, and p.image, which
-- produces the image name for an individual portal.
-- The portal image data is kept in submodules of [[Module:Portal/images]], listed below:
-- [[Module:Portal/images/a]] - for portal names beginning with "A".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/b]] - for portal names beginning with "B".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/c]] - for portal names beginning with "C".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/d]] - for portal names beginning with "D".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/e]] - for portal names beginning with "E".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/f]] - for portal names beginning with "F".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/g]] - for portal names beginning with "G".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/h]] - for portal names beginning with "H".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/i]] - for portal names beginning with "I".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/j]] - for portal names beginning with "J".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/k]] - for portal names beginning with "K".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/l]] - for portal names beginning with "L".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/m]] - for portal names beginning with "M".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/n]] - for portal names beginning with "N".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/o]] - for portal names beginning with "O".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/p]] - for portal names beginning with "P".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/q]] - for portal names beginning with "Q".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/r]] - for portal names beginning with "R".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/s]] - for portal names beginning with "S".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/t]] - for portal names beginning with "T".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/u]] - for portal names beginning with "U".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/v]] - for portal names beginning with "V".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/w]] - for portal names beginning with "W".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/x]] - for portal names beginning with "X".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/y]] - for portal names beginning with "Y".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/z]] - for portal names beginning with "Z".
-- [[Module:Portal/images/other]] - for portal names beginning with any other letters. This includes numbers,
-- letters with diacritics, and letters in non-Latin alphabets.
-- [[Module:Portal/images/aliases]] - for adding aliases for existing portal names. Use this page for variations
-- in spelling and diacritics, etc., no matter what letter the portal begins with.
--
-- The images data pages are separated by the first letter to reduce server load when images are added, changed, or removed.
-- Previously all the images were on one data page at [[Module:Portal/images]], but this had the disadvantage that all
-- 5,000,000 pages using this module needed to be refreshed every time an image was added or removed.
