This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.
{{{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
