This module depends on the following other modules:

This template pulls in the content from one subpage from a set of subpages. Designed primarily for use on portals.

{{Transclude random subpage
 |max      =
 |subpage  = 
 |rootpage =
}}

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 {{numbered subpages}} on the page and save it.
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.

This template was created to enable {{Random portal component}} to be replaced with standard portal box notation, including {{Box-header colour}} and {{Box-footer}}.

Example:

{{Random portal component|max=22|header=''Selected article''|subpage=Selected article}}

could be replaced by this:

{{Box-header colour|Selected article}}
{{Transclude random subpage |max=22|subpage=Selected article}}
{{Box-footer}}

This also allows a box to be modified (edited) independently of its contents, and to match the other boxes on the page.

 * On the {{code|Portal:Foo/Selected bar}} sub-page, place the template {{tl|numbered subpages}} on the page and save it.
 * Once the list of subject links have been created, use one of the {{code|Selected <subject>}} templates from below to format each of the subject sub-pages.
-* This template calls {{code|/box-header}} (if {{code|headertemplate}} is not specified) and {{tl|box-footer}} for its color styles and closing. Either {{code|headertemplate}} must be used, or the {{code|/box-header}} subpage must exist for everything to work correctly.
