Purpose
For creating navigation box footers to group articles together. One example is providing 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.
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 = ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ]
| Summary = "A list of the first 25 US Presidents"
}}
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
- 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
