This template is used on 32,000+ pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
The primary purpose of this template is for when using {{Portal}} would cause formatting problems. Sometimes images and infoboxes can push the regular, vertical {{portal}} template outside of the "See also" section. This template forms a horizontal bar, instead of a vertical, sidebar-like template.
This template is well suited for articles that have more portals than related articles in the "See also" section, which would cause a regular {{portal}} sprawl into the next section, although a regular {{portal}} with {{clear}} would sometimes work better, depending on how much white space {{portal}} with {{clear}} would cause.
Usage
To add the template to a page, use the following code:
{{Portal bar|portal 1|portal 2|...}}
For a version with no border, use border=no:
{{Portal bar|portal 1|portal 2|...|border=no}}
Location
Within articles, this template is usually placed at the bottom of the article.
