== Layout components ==

Here are the components used to generate the boxes above:
* {{tlx|Box-header colour}} &ndash; start of a layout box. By default, the template will automatically select a color based on the page name.
* {{tlx|Box-footer}} &ndash; end of a layout box.
* {{tlx|Flex columns}} &ndash; two column layout, with equal-height columns, that switches to one column on narrow screens.

== Components for portal talk pages ==
These should go on the base talk page, not subpages.
{{Plainlist|1=
* {{tlx|Portal talk}} (instead of {{tl|talk header}})
* {{tlx|WikiProject Portals}} 
}}
