{{{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 = ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ] • ]
}}

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 the result changes to:

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
