Template:Navbox/doc

This template is used to build navboxes. It is highly recommended to use this template only for building other templates, instead of using it on pages directly.

CSS styles are defined at:

• MediaWiki:Common.css

Features

• Supports up to unlimited rows
  • Hides rows without a value
• Supports image and left image
• Supports subheaders
  • Subheaders are automatically hidden if they have no rows under them (can be overridden per header)
  • Subheaders can be collapsed (configurable per header or globally)
• Fully styled through CSS by default (see Common.css)
• Supports custom styles and classes.
• Alternating row styles (can be disabled)
• Can be run from wikicode (#invoke) or directly in a Module via "require"

Parameters

Here is a list of all supported parameters.

• _(n) should be replaced by any valid number.
• Underlined values are defaults.

All parameters are optional.

Main Parameters

template/name

Name of the template, used for VDE (view/discuss/edit) links. Will be passed directly to {{vdelinks}}

border/unnamed parameter 1

Can be used to control the border of the navbox. Currently only supports the value "child", making the navbox a child navbox of another one.

title

The main title of the box.

above

Used to add a row that appears above all image, header and data rows.

header_(n)

Used to add subheaders to the navbox. Headers are hidden by default unless there are any list rows under them.

show_(n) = yes/no

Use this parameter to force show/hide a section. The number should correspond to the number of the header that started the section.

showall = yes

Use this to force show all sections. Can be overridden with individual show(n) parameters.

group_(n)

Contains the group label for a row. If not present, the corresponding list will expand to fill the gap.

list_(n)

The actual list for the row.

below

Used to add a row that appears below all header and data rows.

Images

The navbox supports 2 images (one left and one right). Both images support full syntax ([[File:Name.ext|...]]) and filename (File:Name.ext). In case of the former, the respective width and link parameters will be ignored.

image

Specify an image for the right side

imagewidth = 100px

If you didn't use the full syntax, use this to specify the width of the image

imagelink

You can use this to link the image to a certain page.

imageleft

Specify an image for the left side

imageleftwidth = 100px

Width for the left image

imageleftlink

Link for the left image

Style Parameters

alternaterows = yes/no/swap

You can optionally add this to disable alternating row styles. If set to swap, the odd rows will be the alternate rows; otherwise the even rows are.

Collapsing

The Navbox supports two forms of collapsing: for the navbox itself and for individual subsections.

state = collapsed/expanded/plain

This parameter controls the collapsing of the navbox itself. If set to collapsed, the box will be collapsed by default. If set to expanded, the box can be collapsed, but will be open by default. If set to plain, the box can not be collapsed and no Show/Hide link will show.

state_(n) = collapsed/expanded/plain

Used to control the collapsing of a single section. A section goes from one header to the next. The number should thus correspond to the one of the header that is above the section to collapse. Options are the same as above.

defaultstate = collapsed/expanded/plain

Sets the default collapse state for the subsections only. Can still be overridden by individual state(n) parameters.

Examples

Simple Example

{{Navbox
 |title      = A simple navbox
 |template   = Navbox/doc <!-- Used for V D E links -->
 |above      = Text to appear on top

 |group1     = First Group
 |list1      = 
* This
* Is
* How
* You
* Make
* Lists
 |group2     = Lists support subitems 
 |list2      =
* Item 1
** Item 1.1
** Item 1.2
* Item 2
** Item 2.1
 |list3      = List without group (centered)
 |group4     = Group without list (not shown)
 |group99999 = 99999th Group
 |list99999  = Any number works

 |below      = Text to appear on bottom
}}

Headers Example

{{Navbox
 |title   = Navbox with subheaders

 |group1  = First Group
 |list1   = This list is before the first header

 |header2 = Header for section 2
 |group2  = Second Group
 |list2   = Second List (part of section 2)
 |group3  = Third Group
 |list3   = Third List (also part of section 2)

 |header4 = Header with no lists (Not shown)

 |header5 = Another Header
 |list5   = Another list (part of section 5)

 |header6 = Another header with no lists (force shown)
 |show6   = yes

 |header7 = A header with a list that is force hidden
 |list7   = Not shown either
 |show7   = no
}}

Images Example

{{Navbox
 |title      = Navbox with images

 |group1     = First Group
 |list1      = First List

 |header2    = Some Header
 |list2      = Some List
 
 |image      = File:Wiki.png
 |imagewidth = 60px
 |imagelink  = w:
 
 |imageleft  = [[File:Example.jpg|50px]]
 
 |below      = Below goes below images too
}}

Collapsing Example

{{Navbox
 |title   = Navbox with collapsing
 |state   = collapsed
 
 |header1 = First Header (Plain)
 |group1  = First Group
 |list1   = This list is before the first header
 |group2  = Second Group
 |list2   = Second List
 
 |header3 = Second Header (Expanded)
 |state3  = expanded
 |group3  = Third Group
 |list3   = Third List
 |group4  = Fourth Group
 |list4   = Fourth List
 
 |header5 = Third Header (Collapsed)
 |state5  = collapsed
 |group5  = Fifth Group
 |list5   = Fifth List
 |group6  = Sixth Group
 |list6   = Sixth List
}}

Custom Styles Example

Example using wikipedia style colors. The values represent CSS classes.

Note: It is recommended to use the classes over the styles if possible. To view/edit the default styles, see MediaWiki:Common.css

{{Navbox
 |title        = .navbox-title
 |above        = .navbox-above

 |header1      = .navbox-header
 |group1       = .navbox-row-group
 |list1        = .navbox-row-list
 |group2       = .alt .navbox-row-group
 |list2        = .alt .navbox-row-list
 |list3        = .navbox-list.no-group

 |below        = .navbox-below
 
 |bodystyle    = background: #fdfdfd; color: black; border: 1px solid #aaa; padding: 3px
 |titlestyle   = background: #ccf; color: black
 |abovestyle   = background: #ddf; color: black

 |altliststyle = background: #f7f7f7; color: black
 |belowstyle   = background: #ddf; color: black
}}

Subgroups Example

{{Navbox
 |title   = Navbox with subgroups
 |group1  = Normal group
 |list1   = Normal list
 |group2  = Subgrouped
 |list2   = {{Navbox|child
  |group1 = First subgroup
  |list1  = List goes here
  |group2 = Second...
  |list2  = Another list
  |image  = [[File:Example.jpg|48px]] <!-- An image for this group -->
  |alternaterows = swap <!-- Makes box start with an alt row -->
 }}
