This template produces no visible output in portal pages, unless you specify otherwise.

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

Once a portal's subpages have been checked, set to:
checked or triaged or keep (or any other value): if any unneeded subpages have been removed.

none or single or singlepage or no: 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, major or serious: for portals that have errors or major problems, such as Lua timeouts, template parsing limits exceeded, or completely wrecked layout

Set to minor, access or layout: 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.
