	Finally, press "Show Preview" and verify that the cell layout is correct. The last step is to verify that all cells are the same height. If a few cells are taller than most others, you can try to shorten the name of the link by adjusting <code>text=</code>. If a few cells are shorter than others, you can add whitespace to them by adding a value for <code>\|nonlinktext=</code>. Setting <code>\|nonlinktext=<br>&nbsp;</code> will increase the height of a cell by one line. Each additional <br>&nbsp; will add another line of height.

	When using <code>\|width=</code>, be careful with the cell captions. Cell captions will automatically shrink when width is less than 120 pixels. However, at cell widths below 100 pixels, it's easy for even short captions to overrun the cells. It's usually better to simply demote a link to the See Also section and leave a cell row with six or fewer cells.		When using <code>\|width=</code>, be careful with the cell captions.

	Some navigational elements, such as [[Template:Portalnav]] and [[Template:languagebar]], also make use of portal cells. As with related articles pages, it's important to make sure a row of portal cells is not too wide to fit at lower screen resolutions. If you are unable to test at a lower screen resolution, try to make sure that the total width of your portal cells is less than 650.
