Editing Template:Portal other/doc (section)

=== Usage ===

This template usually takes two parameters, like this:

<pre>
{{portal other | Portal page text | Other pages text }}
</pre>

If the template is on a "Portal:" page, it will return this:

:{{portal other | demospace=portal | Portal page text | Other pages text }}

If the template is on any other page, it will return this:

:{{portal other | Portal page text | Other pages text }}

A typical usage case could be to make it so that a template only adds a category when on portal pages. Thus not adding other pages that just show the template. Like this:

<pre>
{{portal other | [[Category:Some portal category]] }}
</pre>

Or to warn that a template should not be used on other pages:

<pre>
{{portal other | | This template should only be used on portal pages. }}
</pre>

Note that in the first case above the "other" parameter was not used, and in the second example the "portal" parameter was left empty.
