Legacy subpages
If the portal has legacy subpages (e.g. Portal:Brazil/Selected picture/20) and you wish to re-use them via Portal pictures, pass the maximum subpage number via parameter subpagemax. The template will automatically pick up all subpages from one to the maximum number. By default, "Selected picture" is used as root subpage. Custom subpage can be specified via parameter subpage, e.g. Featured picture. Example of such usage can seen at Portal:Brazil/Selected picture.
