The name of the template, which is needed for the "v · d · e" ("view · discuss · edit") links to work properly on all pages where the template is used. You can enter {{subst:PAGENAME}} for this value as a shortcut.
title
Text that appears centered in the top row of the table. It is usually the template's topic, i.e. a succinct description of the body contents. This should be a single line, but if a second line is needed, use {{-}} to ensure proper centering.
listn (body may be used in place of list1)
(i.e. list1, list2, etc.) The body of the template, usually a list of links. Format is inline, although the text can be entered on separate lines if the entire list is enclosed within <div> </div>. At least one list parameter is required; each additional list is displayed in a separate row of the table. Each listn may be preceded by a corresponding groupn parameter, if provided (see below).
(i.e. group1, group2, etc.) If specified, text appears in a header cell displayed above the listn. (Not possible with this setup.)
above
A full-width cell displayed between the titlebar and first group/list, i.e. above the template's body (groups, lists and image). In a template without an image, above behaves in the same way as the list1 parameter without the group1 parameter.
below
A full-width cell displayed below the template's body (groups, lists and image).
Other
state
Defaults to autocollapse. If set to collapsed, the navbox will always start out in a collapsed state. If set to blank or anything other than autocollapse or collapsed, the navbox will always start out in an expanded state. A navbox with autocollapse will start out collapsed if there are two or more tables on the same page that use collapsible. For the technically minded, see MediaWiki:Common.js.
links on the left side of the titlebar will not be displayed.
Examples
The nowraplinks class is used by {{Navbox}}, which is used to build this template. These examples use that class and nowrap{{·}} and (where needed) to prevent the names breaking across. If there are non-linked portions of text that need to be controlled for wrapping use the {{nowrap begin}}, {{·wrap}}, and {{nowrap end}} templates. If a small space between groups is desired leave an empty line between them.
