Template:Navigation

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The template documentation below is transcluded from Template:Navigation/doc [edit]

{{Navigation}} is a generic navigational template.

Contents

[edit] Blank

{{Navigation
| name  = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| title = 
| body  = 
}}

[edit] Parameters

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.
