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 = 
}}

Mandatory arguments: Title and List Recommended arguments: Summary, 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 ”. Defaults: Color = #ccccff.

ExamplesExample 1

The following code:

{{NavigationBox

| Title = The first 25 ]
| Image = ]
| Category = <noinclude>]]</noinclude>
| 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:
