[[Template:Continents of the world|World continents]]
}}

[edit] Parameters

[edit] 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.

body

Contents of the navigation box. To separate links | ( | ) or • ( • ) or {{·}} ( · ) to separate links. It is not possible to include a pipe ( | ) in the contents as this symbol is used to separate parameters.

[edit] Optional

name

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 on. You can enter {{subst:PAGENAME}} for this value as a shortcut.

style

Specifies CSS values to apply to the template. For instance: text-align: (right|center|left|justified); width: (em, %, px, auto); float: (left|right|none); clear: (right|left|both|none); margin:...etc. This option should be used sparingly as it can lead to visual inconsistencies.

color

Title background color. Default is #ccf. 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.

fontcolor

Title font color. Also used by the {{tnavbar}} template (v-d-e links).

state

Defaults to autocollapse. If set to collapsed, the navbox will always start out in a collapsed state. If set to blank or anything other than autocollapse or collapsed, the navbox will always start out in an expanded state. A navbox with autocollapse will start out collapsed if there are 2 or more tables on the same page that use collapsible. For the technically minded, see MediaWiki:Common.js.
