Template:Portal maintenance status/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Portal maintenance status.

Module:Separated entries

This template produces no visible output in portal pages, unless you specify otherwise.

This template automatically populates Category:All portals. Please do not add the category manually.

Usage[edit source]

All parameters:

{{Portal maintenance status |{{subst:DATE}} |subpages= |nonstandard= |broken= |incomplete= |upgrade= |manual= |maintainer1= |maintainer2= |maintainer3= |maintainer4= |note=}}

Include the following parameters if they are applicable; otherwise, omit the parameter (or set to no)

|manual=yes (or any other value): Portal is manually maintained. You should specify at least one maintainer using the |maintainer[1-4]= parameter.
|nonstandard=yes (or any other value): Portal has a nonstandard layout
|incomplete=yes (or any other value): Portal is under construction or incomplete
|upgrade=yes (or any other value): Portal needs upgrading. Use the |note= field to elaborate.
|broken= Portal has issues needing attention. Use the |note= field to elaborate.
Set to yes, major or serious: for portals that have errors or major problems, such as Lua timeouts, template parsing limits exceeded, or completely wrecked layout

Set to minor, access or layout: for portals that have minor problems, such as accessibility issues or minor layout issues

The following parameters should be populated, where possible:

|date= Date of last template update
|maintainer[1-4]=Example: Used to specify users who look after the portal in question.
|subpages= Subpage triage status
Set to untriaged or yes (or leave unset) if the subpages have not yet been checked.

Once a portal's subpages have been checked, set to:
checked or triaged or keep (or any other value): if any unneeded subpages have been removed.

none or single or singlepage or no: if the portal has a single page layout (no subpages exist).

This template can also hold miscellaneous notes:

|note=Text goes here: to record notes in plain text or even wikitext markup.
