Modul ini dilindungi. Modul ini sangat mencolok yang digunakan oleh banyak halaman, atau sangat sering disubstitusikan. Karena vandalisme atau kesalahan akan mempengaruhi banyak halaman, dan suntingan kecil dapat memberi beban besar pada server, modul ini dilindungi dari penyuntingan.
Modul ini memiliki dua fungsi, portal dan gambar. portal menghasilkan kotak dengan tautan ke portal atau ke beberapa portal, dan digunakan oleh {{portal}} templat. Ini paling sering digunakan dalam "Lihat juga" bagian dari sebuah artikel. image fungsi menghasilkan nama gambar yang digunakan oleh portal yang ditentukan.
Within articles, the output of the portal function is meant to be placed at the top of the article's See also section. If there is no See also section, you may put it in the External links section instead; there is no need to create a new section just to house this template. If there is no External links section either, just put it below the article text in the place that seems most appropriate.
There are no particular rules about the placement of portals on other kinds of pages.
Image
The portal image names are stored in subpages of Module:Portal/images, organised by the first letter of the portal name. For example, the first letter of Portal:Feminism is "F", so the image name is stored at Module:Portal/images/f. If there is an entry for a portal on the correct page then the corresponding image will be shown next to the portal link. If no image is found then File:Portal-puzzle.svg will be shown instead.
It is also possible to specify aliases for portal images. For example, the code {{Portal|Detroit}} produces the same image as the code {{Portal|Metro Detroit}}. The "Detroit" alias is found on the page Module:Portal/images/aliases.
The image-detection algorithm is case-insensitive. For example, the code {{Portal|Detroit}} will produce the same image as the code {{Portal|detroit}} (although the portal links will be different). Portal names are stored in lower case in the image subpages, and input is converted to lower case before being checked.
To add new images to the list, please make a protected edit request at Template talk:Portal to get an administrator to edit the correct subpage for you. Portal images must be either in the public domain or available under a free license that allows commercial reuse and derivative works; fair-use images are not acceptable. The template {{Portal icon demonstration}} may be of use when deciding whether an image is suitable for use as a portal icon; it formats an image using the same size and style that the {{Portal}} template uses by default.
For adding aliases for existing portal names. Use this page for variations in spelling and diacritics, etc., no matter what letter the portal begins with.

Pengguna
{{#invoke:Portal|image|portal}}
Contoh
{{#invoke:Portal|image|Art}}→Ballerina-icon.jpg
Fungsi penipuan gambar
Fungsi duplikasi gambar mengembalikan daftar semua gambar yang digunakan oleh lebih dari satu portal (alias tidak termasuk). Ini dapat membantu dalam mengidentifikasi entri gambar yang harus diubah untuk menggunakan alias.
Pengguna
{{#invoke:Portal|imageDupes}}
Tampilkan semua fungsi
gambar. Ini digunakan untuk pemeliharaan, dan tidak boleh ditampilkan dalam artikel, karena) ada sekitar 1000 portal dengan gambar, dan menampilkan 1000 gambar pada satu halaman membutuhkan banyak sumber daya server, dan b) Modul ini tidak memiliki cara untuk mengetahui kapitalisasi nama portal yang benar, sehingga beberapa tautan ke portal akan terputus. Output dari fungsi ini dapat dilihat di Template:Portal/doc/all.
