Template documentation

This template does not display in the mobile view of Wikipedia; it is desktop only. See Template:Navbox visibility for a brief explanation.

This is a navigational template created using {{navbox}}. It can be transcluded on pages by placing {{Navbox documentation/sandbox}} below the standard article appendices.

Initial visibility

This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

{{Navbox documentation|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{Navbox documentation|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

TemplateData

A navigational box that can be placed at the bottom of articles.
