Template:Navbox/doc

This is a documentation page Meta-template for building navboxes. A navbox is a grouping of links used in multiple related articles to facilitate navigation between those articles.

Up to 8 blocks with up to 8 content & group fields each are supported, as well as displaying the rows in a column-based or horizontal layout and making groups collapsible. Each of these options can be specified for individual blocks or the whole navbox. In addition, navboxes built with this meta-template can be nested/displayed within each other. The template also supports displaying images to the left and/or right of individual blocks or the whole navbox.

Standard navboxes (i.e. those inserted at the bottom of an article) are collapsible and will be auto-collapsed by default (this can be changed by altering the autocollapse limit in MediaWiki:Common.js). Side navboxes are not collapsible by default and do not count towards this limit.

Easy navbox creation
The box below allows you to create a new with the appropriate layout. Simply enter the name of the new navbox ("Template:Navbox" is automatically added) and click the "Create" button.

Style parameters
All  options should be used sparingly as they can lead to visual inconsistencies. Some examples of useful styles:
 * Changing background color:  (accepts HTML color names or RGB hex triplets)
 * Changing (horizontal) text-alignment:  (accepts "center", "justify", "left", "right")
 * Changing vertical text-alignment:  (accepts "bottom", "middle", "top")
