ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Random portal component
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template generates a box for a portal home page. The content is drawn randomly from a pre-defined list.
Layout
{{Random portal component
|max =
|header =
|footer =
|subpage =
|rootpage =
}}
Usage
- header: (Optional) The header text of the box. If no header is passed to the template, the default is the subpage name.
- footer: (Optional) The footer text in the box. E.g. Nominations for selected picture.
- rootpage: (Optional) The root of the transcluded page, e.g. Portal:Foo.
- subpage: The subpage of the transcluded page, e.g. Selected picture.
- max: The maximum number of sub-subpages. Must be a positive integer.
Formatting subpages
- Create a sub-page first. If your portal is Portal:Foo, then a sub-page could be Portal:Foo/Selected bar.
- On the Portal:Foo/Selected bar sub-page, place the template {{numbered subpages}} on the page and save it. The template will default to 50 subject sub-pages, however you can also use {{25 Numbered subpages}} or {{75 Numbered subpages}} for more or less sub-pages.
- Once the list of subject links have been created, use one of the Selected subject templates from further to format each of the subject sub-pages.
- This template calls /box-header and /box-footer for its color styles and closing, these must be present in your portal design for it to work correctly.
