The following template description is not displayed when the template is inserted in an article.

Goal

This template is a template for simple navigation boxes at the bottom of pages.

Usage

{{navigation
| name    = 
| title   = 
| content = 
}}

name: Optional parameter with the name of the template to be used when title is not name of the template. If not the V•T•E links will not work.

title: Title of the navbox. Must be the name of the template when name is not used.

content: Contents of the navbox, commonly separated by "bullets" • (•).

The links on the title bar

To the left there is three links V•T•E related to the navbox.

Note: These will only work when either title or name is the same as the name of the template!

V is a link to the navbox template
T is a link to edit the discussion page (Template talk:Page) of the navbox template
E is a link to edit the navbox template

To the right is a [hide] link will turn to a [show] link and hide the contents of the navbox.

Some hints and tips

You can easily add automatic categorisation of the pages that uses the navbox by adding categories within <includeonly> tags.
You can suppress categorisation when the template is used on other pages than articles by using {{main other}}.
To make it easier to use even a simple template consider adding documentation using the {{informative template}}.

Examples

{{Navigation
|title=Dassault
