 | 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.
Layout
{{Transclude random subpage
|max =
|subpage =
|rootpage =
}}
Usage
- rootpage: (Optional) The root of the transcluded page, e.g. Portal:Foo.
- subpage: The subpage of the transcluded page, e.g. Selected picture.
- max: The maximum number of sub-subpages. Must be a positive integer.
Formatting subpages
- Create a sub-page first. If your portal is
Portal:Foo, then a sub-page could bePortal:Foo/Selected bar. - On the
Portal:Foo/Selected barsub-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.
Why this template?
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}}
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.
