Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 03:56, 16 December 2006

Template:Template doc page viewed directly {{Navigation/doc}} 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. Care/consensus needed when using this parameter as multiple navigational templates on one page using different titlebar colors is likely to 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.
