Template:Portal-inline

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 219,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Portal-inline

Template:Portal-inline is used to produce an inline link to a portal that is supported by print and mobile versions of Wikipedia pages.

Differences between {{Portal}} and {{Portal-inline}}

{{Portal}} creates a list of one or more portal links within an accessible navigation region. It is hidden in printer and mobile view. This is useful, for example, in an article's "See also" section.

{{Portal-inline}} creates one portal link with no accessibility context. It is visible in printer and mobile view. This is useful, for example, if making a mid-sentence link on a talk page, or if there is an alternative list structure in a "See also" section.
