Commons

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.

Contents

Blank

{{NavigationBox
 | Title = 
 | Image = 
 | List = 
 | Category = 
 | Summary = 
}}

Parameters

Mandatory

Title
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.
List
Contents of the navigation box. Use | to separate links. It is not possible to include a pipe ("|") in the contents as this symbol is used to separate parameters.

Optional

Color
Header color. Default is #ccf. Use of this parameter is discouraged. Care/consensus needed when using this parameter as multiple navigational templates on one page using different titlebar colors is likely to look unpleasant.
Image
The image. Must include [[Image:...|?px|alt text]]
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 ”.

Examples

Example 1

The following code:

{{NavigationBox
| Title = The first 25 Presidents of the United States
| Image = [[Image:USPresidentialSeal.jpg|60px|U.S. presidential seal]]
| Summary = A list of the first 25 US Presidents
| Color =
| Category =
| List = [[George Washington|Washington]] • [[John Adams|J Adams]] • [[Thomas Jefferson|Jefferson]] • [[James Madison|Madison]] • [[James Monroe|Monroe]] • [[John Quincy Adams|JQ Adams]] • [[Andrew Jackson|Jackson]] • [[Martin Van Buren|Van Buren]] • [[William Henry Harrison|W Harrison]] • [[John Tyler|Tyler]] • [[James K. Polk|Polk]] • [[Zachary Taylor|Taylor]] • [[Millard Fillmore|Fillmore]] • [[Franklin Pierce|Pierce]] • [[James Buchanan|Buchanan]] • [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]] • [[Andrew Johnson|A Johnson]] • [[Ulysses S. Grant|Grant]] • [[Rutherford B. Hayes|Hayes]] • [[James Garfield|Garfield]] • [[Chester A. Arthur|Arthur]] • [[Grover Cleveland|Cleveland]] • [[Benjamin Harrison|B Harrison]] • [[Grover Cleveland|Cleveland]] • [[William McKinley|McKinley]]
}}

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
