Template:Navigation bar
This template is a navigational template intended to be used to generate a scrollable navigation "bar", rather than a navigation box, in cases where there are a long list of items with a natural ordering (for example, alphabetical or numerical) that as a box would consume a large amount of vertical space in an article. Navigation bars currently do not appear in printed copies of articles.
When creating a template using this one, please add it to Category:Templates using navigation bars by adding the following code:
<noinclude>[[Category:Templates using navigation bars|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>
Usage
[edit source]{{navigation bar
| color =
| title =
| list =
| category =
}}
Mandatory arguments
[edit source]- title: A title for the navigation bar; may include links
- list: Single line of text (no tables, no expanded templates) with links to related articles with no embedded line breaks; links may be separated, for instance, by commas, bullets, or pipe symbols. To use pipe symbols (vertical bars) as a separator, template:! must be used since "|" has meaning within a template invocation. The syntax for displaying a pipe-character is
{{!}}. If you want to use several lines simply surround each line with div tags (following example only uses one div).
{{Navigation bar
| title = Sample
| list = <div>
item 1 - item 2 - item 3 - item 4 - item 5 -
item 6 - item 7 - item 8 - item 9 - item 10 -
item 11 - item 12 - item 13 - item 14 - item 15 -
item 16 - item 17 - item 18 - item 19 - item 20
</div>
