Template:Germany by state category navigation/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Germany by state category navigation. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
A category navigation template, designed to be used on any by-state category for any of the 16 current states of Germany.
It creates a navbox with links to identically-named categories for other states. For example, on Category:Landforms of Baden-Württemberg, it creates links to Category:Landforms of Bavaria, Category:Landforms of Brandenburg etc.
Non-existent categories are not linked. Instead, they are listed in grey, i.e. greyed out.
If there are no navigable links, the navbox will not be displayed, and the page will be categorised in Category:Germany by state category navigation with all grey links.
