== Usage ==

Line 24 ⟶ 37:

=== Prerequisites ===

* Create a subpagesub-page first. If your portal is '''Portal:''Foo''''', then a subpagesub-page could be '''Portal:''Foo''/Selected picture''bar'.'''';

* On the '''Portal:Foo/Selected ''bar''''' sub-page, place the template {{tl|numbered subpages}} on the page and save it. The template will default to 50 subject sub-pages;

* Create a subpage first. If your portal is '''Portal:Foo''', then a subpage could be '''Portal:Foo/Selected picture'''.

* Once the list of subject links have been created, use one of the '''Selected ''subject''''' templates from below to format each of the subject sub-pages.

* Under that subpage, create subpage to that page, named 1, 2, 3, ... with no prefixing 0. And it does '''not''' start with 0.

== Example ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

{{Portal:Box-header | title=header

{{Box-header

|editpage=Template:Lorem ipsum

|title = header

|border=Black <!-- This is the color of the borders around Box Sections -->

|editpage = Template:Lorem ipsum

|titleforeground=#ffe247 <!-- This is the color of the Box Section Title Bar text -->

|border = Black

|titlebackground=#A9A9A9 <!-- This is the color of the Box Section Title Bar -->

|titleforeground = #ffe247

|background=#FFFFFF <!-- This is the color of the Box Section background -->

|titlebackground = #A9A9A9

|foreground=black}} <!-- This is the color of the Box Section text -->

|background = #FFFFFF

|foreground = black

}}

{{Lorem ipsum}}

{{Portal:boxBox-footer |Suggest • Archive }}

</syntaxhighlight>

will produce

{{Portal:Box-header | title=header

|editpage = Template:Lorem ipsum

|border = Black

|titleforeground = #ffe247

|titlebackground = #646464

|background = #FFFFFF

|foreground = black

}}

{{Lorem ipsum}}

{{Box-footer |Suggest • Archive }}

== Notes ==

'''Suggest''': a link to a nominate page that is located at '''Portal:yourportal/Nominate/Subpage name''' e.g. /Nominate/Selected picture.

I have found after attempting to get a portal featured that most people want to see a suggest link for all selected content. I loved the original random portal component but in order to add a second link to the bottom of a section you had to turn off the footer and create your own footers (for subpage and suggestions on each content page. So, instead of spending all that time to create links on subpages I thought my time would be better spent adding suggestions to the component itself.
