Template:Navigation Template
{{Navigation Template}}
is a generic navigational template.
Blank[edit source]
{{Navigation | name = {{subst:PAGENAME}} | title = | body = }}
Parameters[edit source]
Mandatory[edit source]
- name (or templateName)
- The name of the template, which is needed for the "view · talk · edit" links to work properly on all of the pages where the template is used. You can enter
{{subst:PAGENAME}}
for this value as a shortcut. - title (or header)
- Text that appears centered in the titlebar (the top bar). Usually this is the template's topic, i.e. a succinct description of the body contents.
- body
- The material contained by the template, usually a list or list of links. Use | to separate links. It is not possible to directly include a pipe ("|") in the contents as this symbol is used to separate parameters. &:#124; or {{!}} can be used in the body to produce a pipe symbol. Format is inline.
Optional[edit source]
- color
- Header color. Default is #efefef. Use of this parameter is discouraged. Where it is used, care and consensus are needed as multiple navigational templates on one page with different titlebar colors will probably look unpleasant.
- cat (or category)
- The category or categories to which a page sporting the template will become a member.
Example[edit source]
