Template:Navigation
{{Navigation}}
is a generic navigational template.
Blank
{{Navigation | name = {{subst:PAGENAME}} | title = | body = }}
Parameters
Mandatory
- name (or templateName)
- The name of the template, which is needed for the "view · talk · edit" links to work properly on all of the pages where the template is used on. You can enter
{{subst:PAGENAME}}
for this value as a shortcut. - title (or header)
- Text that appears centered in the titlebar (the top bar). Usually this is the template's topic, i.e. a succinct description of the body contents.
- body
- The material contained by the template, usually a list or list of links. Use | to separate links. It is not possible to include a pipe ("|") in the contents as this symbol is used to separate parameters. Format is inline.
Optional
- color
- Header color. Default is #efefef. Use of this parameter is discouraged. Where it is used, care and consensus are needed as multiple navigational templates on one page with different titlebar colors will probably look unpleasant.
- cat (or category)
- The category or categories to which a page sporting the template will become a member.
Auto collapse logic
A navbox will start out collapsed if there are 4 or more tables on the same page that is implemented with NavFrame. For the technical minded, see MediaWiki:Common.js.
See also Wikipedia:NavFrame.
Example
Code
{{Navigation | name = {{subst:PAGENAME}} | title = [[Countries of the world|Countries]] of [[Central Asia]] | cat = [[Category:Central Asian countries]]<noinclude>[[Category:Asian navigational boxes|{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Continental navigation templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude> | body = [[Afghanistan]]{{·}} [[Kazakhstan]]{{·}} [[Kyrgyzstan]]{{·}} [[Mongolia]]{{·}} [[Russia]]{{·}} [[Tajikistan]]{{·}} [[Turkmenistan]]{{·}} [[Uzbekistan]] }}
Result
Afghanistan · Kazakhstan · Kyrgyzstan · Mongolia · Russia · Tajikistan · Turkmenistan · Uzbekistan
