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

This is a navigational template. It helps to construct a standardized box containing a list of links to articles which relates to the one being read, plus an optional image.

Use

To apply this template you can start by copy-and-pasting the following code and then provide adequate arguments: 

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

Mandatory arguments

  • Title: A title for the navigation box; may include links
  • List: List of links to related articles; links maybe separated, for instance, by commas, bullets, or pipe symbols.

Recommended arguments

  • Summary: this parameter is aimed at vocal and Braille-based user agents and should give a brief textual description of the box contents; ordinary quotation marks around or within the provided text are not allowed; if quoting is needed you may use curly quotes: “ and ”.

Default values

The Color parameter defaults to the color showed in the {{{Title}}} row above.

Examples

Example 1

The following code:

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

yields:

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
