== Usage ==
{{xref|See {{section link|Module:Portal|Image}} on how to add, update, or remove portal images.}}

=== Border ===
To add the template to a page:
: &rarr; <code><nowiki>{{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science}}</nowiki></code>
{{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science}}

=== No border ===
For a version with no border:
: &rarr; <code><nowiki>{{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science|border=n}}</nowiki></code>
{{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science|border=n}}

Portal bar with border extends to the full width of the article, and that can be a problem with right-floating items. To use space better, remove the border.

== Error tracking ==
If the {{{type|template}}} is used incorrectly, the page will be added to a tracking category.

The tracking categories are not applied if any of the following is true:
# Tracking is specially disabled for that usage. This is done by setting the optional parameter {{para|tracking}} to any the following values: <code><nowiki>no</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>n</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>false</nowiki></code>
# The template is used on a page in any of these namespaces: Talk, User, User talk, Wikipedia talk, File talk, Template talk, Category talk, Portal talk, Draft, Draft talk, Module talk
# The title page on which the template is used includes any of the following case-insensitive strings: "/archive", "/doc", "/test", "/sandbox"
