[edit] Purpose
To standardise certain Wikipedia:Navigational templates. These templates are often used for (but not limited to) US Government officials.
[edit] Use
The template uses these fields: Title, Image, List, and Category.
Use the following code for this template:
{{NavigationBox
| Title = Title_here
| Image = Image_here
| Category = Category_here
| Color = Color_here (default is #ccccff)
| List = Item_1_here, Item_2_here, Item_3_here
}}
[edit] Mandatory arguments
- Title: A title for the navigation box; may include links
- List: List of links to related articles; links maybe separated, for instance, by commas, bullets, or pipe symbols.
[edit] Recommended arguments
- 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”.
[edit] Default values
The Color parameter defaults to the color showed in the {{{Title}}} row above.
