Template:Portal-inline/sandbox

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

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.

• Mobile version of Template:Portal-inline/sandbox
• Desktop version of Template:Portal-inline/sandbox

Usage

• {{Portal-inline|<name> }}
• {{Portal-inline|<name> [|size= <size> ] [|text= <text> ] [|short= <anything> ]}}

Everything inside square brackets is optional, do not include the square brackets.

Parameters

• 1 — required; The first unnamed/positional parameter is the name of the portal.
• size— optional; Specify |size=tiny to show a 16×16 image instead of the usual size.
