== Usage ==
Meta-template for building navboxes. A navbox is a grouping of links used in multiple related articles to facilitate navigation between those articles.
Please remove the parameters that are left blank.
 
<pre style="overflow: auto;">{{Navbox
Based on [[wikipedia:Template:Navbox]], see documentation there.
| name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}{{subst:void|Don't change anything on this line. It will change itself when you save.}}
| title =
| listclass = hlist
| state = {{{state|}}}
 
| above =
==Usage==
| image =
Blank template with commonly use options:
 
<pre style=display:table>
| group1 =
{{Navbox
| list1 =
| name = Navbox/doc
 
| state = uncollapsed
| titlegroup2 = title =
| group1list2 = Group1 =
<!-- ... -->
| list1 = List1
| group2group20 = Group2 =
| list2list20 = List2 =
 
| group3 = Group3
| list3below = List3 =
| group4 = Group4
| list4 = List4
}}
</pre>

==Parameters==
{{Navbox
; name: Template name.
| name = Navbox/doc
; title: text in the title bar.
| state = uncollapsed
; state: controls when a navbox is expanded or collapsed. (use "mw-collapsed" to set the navbox to collapsed)
| title = {{{title}}}
; above/below: optional text to appear above or below the group/list section.
| above = {{{above}}}
; group(n):
| image = {{{image}}}
; listn(n):
| group1 = {{{group1}}}
| list1 = {{{list1}}}
| group2 = {{{group2}}}
| list2 = {{{list2}}}
| list3 = {{{list3}}} ''without {{{group3}}}''
| group4 = {{{group4}}}
| list4 = {{{list4}}}
| below = {{{below}}}
}}
 
The navbox uses lowercase parameter names, as shown in the box (''above''). The required ''name'' and ''title'' will create a one-line box if other parameters are omitted.
==Styles==
Styles are generally advised against, to maintain consistency among templates([[MediaWiki:Hydradark.css]] should be used instead or applied general here); but the option to modify styles parameters are given given below, for specific customization or testing purposes:
 
Notice "group1" (etc.) is optional, as are sections named "above/below".
{{cols|3|
{{clear}}
*style
The basic and most common parameters are as follows (see [[#Parameter descriptions|below]] for the full list):
*basestyle
 
*titlestylex
: <code>name</code> – the name of the template.
*groupstyle
: <code>title</code> – text in the title bar, such as: <nowiki>[[Widget stuff]]</nowiki>.
*groupnstyle
: <code>listclass</code> – a CSS class for the list cells, usually <code>hlist</code> for horizontal lists. Alternatively, use bodyclass for the whole box.
*liststyle
: <code>state</code> – controls when a navbox is expanded or collapsed.
*listnstyle
: <code>titlestyle</code> – a CSS style for the title-bar, such as: <code>background: gray;</code>
*listpadding
: <code>groupstyle</code> – a CSS style for the group-cells, such as: <code>background: #eee;</code>
*oddstyle
: <code>above</code> – text to appear above the group/list section (could be a list of overall wikilinks).
*evenstyle
: <code>image</code> – an optional right-side image, coded as the whole image. Typically it is purely decorative, so it should be coded as <code><nowiki>[[File:</nowiki><var>XX</var><nowiki>.jpg|80px|link=|alt=]]</nowiki></code>.
*abovestyle
: <code>imageleft</code> – an optional left-side image (code the same as the "image" parameter).
*belowstyle
: <code>group<sub>n</sub></code> – the left-side text before list-n (if group-n omitted, list-n starts at left of box).
*imagestyle
: <code>list<sub>n</sub></code> – text listing wikilinks using a [[wikipedia:Help:Lists|wikilist]] format.
*imageleftstyle
: <code>below</code> – optional text to appear below the group/list section.

== Parameter descriptions ==
The following is a complete list of parameters for using {{tlx|Navbox}}. In most cases, the only required parameters are <code>name</code>, <code>title</code>, and <code>list1</code>.
 
=== Setup parameters ===
:; ''name''
:: The name of the template, which is needed for the "V&nbsp;• T&nbsp;• E" ("View&nbsp;• Talk&nbsp;• Edit") links to work properly on all pages where the template is used. You can enter <code><nowiki>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> for this value as a shortcut. The name parameter is only mandatory if a <code>title</code> is specified, and the <code>border</code> parameter is not set, and the <code>navbar</code> parameter is not used to disable the navbar.
:; ''state'' <span style="font-weight:normal;">[<code>autocollapse, collapsed, expanded, plain, off</code>]</span>
:* Defaults to <code>autocollapse</code>. A navbox with <code>autocollapse</code> will start out collapsed if there are two or more tables on the same page that use other collapsible tables. Otherwise, the navbox will be expanded.
:* If set to <code>collapsed</code>, the navbox will always start out in a collapsed state.
:* If set to <code>expanded</code>, the navbox will always start out in an expanded state.
:* If set to <code>plain</code>, the navbox will always be expanded with no [hide] link on the right, and the title will remain centered (by using padding to offset the <small>V&nbsp;• T&nbsp;• E</small> links).
:* If set to <code>off</code>, the navbox will always be expanded with no [hide] link on the right, but no padding will be used to keep the title centered. This is for advanced use only; the "plain" option should suffice for most applications where the [show]/[hide] button needs to be hidden.
: To show the box when standalone (non-included) but then auto-hide contents when in an article, put "expanded" inside <code>&lt;noinclude|&gt;</code>...<code>&lt;/noinclude|&gt;</code> tags. This setting will force the box visible when standalone (even when followed by other boxes), displaying "[hide]", but then it will auto-collapse the box when stacked inside an article:
:: <code><nowiki>| state =&nbsp;</nowiki></code><code>&lt;noinclude|&gt;</code>expanded<code>&lt;/noinclude|&gt;</code>
: Often times, editors will want a default initial state for a navbox, which may be overridden in an article. Here is the trick to do this:
:* In your intermediate template, create a parameter also named "state" as a pass-through like this:
:: <code><nowiki>| state = {{{state<includeonly>|your_desired_initial_state</includeonly>}}}</nowiki></code>
:* The <code>&lt;includeonly&gt;</code><code>|</code> will make the template expanded when viewing the template page by itself.
:; ''navbar''
:: If set to <code>plain</code>, the <span style="font-size: 88%;">V&nbsp;• T&nbsp;• E</span> links on the left side of the titlebar will not be displayed, and padding will be automatically used to keep the title centered. Use <code>off</code> to remove the <span style="font-size: 88%;">V&nbsp;• T&nbsp;• E</span> links, but not apply padding (this is for advanced use only; the "plain" option should suffice for most applications where a navbar is not desired). It is highly recommended that one not hide the navbar, in order to make it easier for users to edit the template, and to keep a standard style across pages.
