This module contains the main code for Lua-based [[Template:About continent and region topic templates|continent-/region-topic navboxes]].

==Usage==
To create a customizable navbox based on this module, create a wrapper template invoking it with the parameters "data" and "name":

{{mlx|Region topic|main
|data{{=}}Module:{{var|DataPageName}}
|name{{=}}{{param|name|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:PAGENAME}}}}
}}

{{para|name}} is necessary for correct [[Template:Navbar|"V•T•E" links]]; the parameter {{param|name}} allows creation of [[Template:About continent and region topic templates#Creating a new template|further wrapper templates]]. {{para|data}} is the page name of the data module for the region names and other options.
