Border

To add the template to a page:

→ {{Portal bar|Biology|Fungi|Plants|Science}}

No border

For a version with no border:

→ {{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.
