Do I have to make one port WAN and others LAN - then create the Bridge? Or should I make a WAN bridge for all ports?
If all interfaces are bridged, then WAN or LAN has no meaning for the traffic handling among them. Being member of the LAN or WAN interface list is an attribute of the bridge. Ports (slave interfaces) follow this setting of the bridge as the L3 packet handling is on the bridge, not on the ports(interfaces). The same for the IP address.

The bridge being member of the LAN or WAN interface list will affect the allowed traffic to and from the router, when the default FW is used.(!) ... access and mangle rules, SRC_NAT, discovery protocols, MAC services, ...
