Template:Portal maintenance status

Portal maintenance status: (No date set) This portal's subpages should be checked. Subpages that are no longer needed should be reported here. Please take care when editing, especially if using automated editing software. Learn how to update the maintenance information here.

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

This template uses Lua: Module:Separated entries (sandbox)

Usage

The {{portal maintenance status}} template should be placed at the top of the portal page, not within a table or another template, due to template limits.

All parameters:

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

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

Optional parameters

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 untriagedoryes (or leave unset) if the subpages have not yet been checked.

  Once a portal's subpages have been checked, set to:

  checkedortriagedorkeep (or any other value): if any unneeded subpages have been removed.

  noneorsingleorsinglepageorno: if the portal has a single page layout (no subpages exist).

This template can also hold miscellaneous notes:

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

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.
• |upgrade=yes (or any other value): Portal needs upgrading. Use the |notes= field to elaborate.
• |update=yes (or any other value): Portal needs updating. Use the |notes= field to elaborate.
• |broken= Portal has issues needing attention. Use the |notes= field to elaborate.

  Set to yes, majororserious: for portals that have errors or major problems, such as Lua timeouts, template parsing limits exceeded, or completely wrecked layout

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

• |nonstandard=yes (or any other value): Portal has a nonstandard layout
• |incomplete=yes (or any other value): Portal is under construction or incomplete

Aliases

• The parameter |note= is recognised as an alias for |notes=. If both |notes= and |note= are present, there may be unexpected results.

How to update the maintenance information for a portal

2. In the first few lines of the edit box (not inside of a table or another template), there should be this template ({{Portal maintenance status}})
3. Edit the parameters of this template to change the information as needed; what each parameter does is described above in #Usage.

By default, this template produces no visible output when in portal space.

• To show hidden categories, enable that setting in your preferences ("Appearance" tab, checkbox under "Advanced options")
• To show a message box like the examples below, add the following line to your personal CSS:

  div.portal-maintenance-status { display:block !important }
