== Usage ==

Line 36 ⟶ 37:

=== Prerequisites ===

* 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 {{tl|numbered subpages}} on the page and save it. The template will default to 50 subject sub-pages;

<pre>

{{Portal:Box-header

|title = header

|editpage = Template:Lorem ipsum

Line 53:

}}

{{Lorem ipsum}}

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

</syntaxhighlight>

</pre>

will produce

{{Portal:Box-header | title=header

|editpage = Template:Lorem ipsum

|border = Black

|titleforeground = #ffe247

|titlebackground = #A9A9A9646464

|background = #FFFFFF

|foreground = black

}}

{{Lorem ipsum}}

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

To see a real time example, see [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Random portal component with nominate]].

== 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.
