{{{Title}}} {{{Image}}}
{{{List}}}

Purpose

Creating various kinds of navigation boxes. Common examples are footers with lists of Government officials and Heads of State.

Use

The template has the following parameters: Title, Color, Image, List, Category, Summary.

To use it you can start by copy-and-pasting the following code: 

{{NavigationBox
 | Title = 
 | Color = 
 | Image = 
 | List = 
 | Category = 
 | Summary = 
}}

The only mandatory arguments are those for the Title and List parameters. Also, usage of the Summary parameter is recommended, for the benefit of vocal and Braille-based user agents: it should provide a brief textual description of the box contents; ordinary quotation marks around or within the provided text are not allowed; in case you need quoting you may use the curly variants:“ and ”.

The default for Color is showed in the {{{Title}}} row above.

Examples

Example 1

The following code:

{{NavigationBox
| Title = The first 25 Presidents of the United States
| Image = ]
| Color =
| Category =
| List = ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]&nbsp;• ]
| Summary = A list of the first 25 US Presidents
}}

yields:

The first 25 Presidents of the United States U.S. presidential seal
Washington • J Adams • Jefferson • Madison • Monroe • JQ Adams • Jackson • Van Buren • W Harrison • Tyler • Polk • Taylor • Fillmore • Pierce • Buchanan • Lincoln • A Johnson • Grant • Hayes • Garfield • Arthur • Cleveland • B Harrison • Cleveland • McKinley
Example 2

Removing the Image argument and providing Color=teal yields:

The first 25 Presidents of the United States
Washington • J Adams • Jefferson • Madison • Monroe • JQ Adams • Jackson • Van Buren • W Harrison • Tyler • Polk • Taylor • Fillmore • Pierce • Buchanan • Lincoln • A Johnson • Grant • Hayes • Garfield • Arthur • Cleveland • B Harrison • Cleveland • McKinley
