Shortcut

{{Navpage}}

This is the {{Navigation page}} template.

It can be used to mark a page as a navigation page.

Usage

{{Navigation page}}

{{Navigation page|y/n|PAGENAME|noquote=y|nostart=y}}

Parameters

Two positional (unnamed) and four named params; all optional:

|1=yes – shows optional navigation links; default: no optional links

|2=PAGENAME of article – only needed if different than current pagename; default: {{PAGENAME}}

|nocat=yes – suppresses § Categorization; default: categorized

|noquote=yes – performs unquoted search (many more results); default: quoted (exact match search; few results, better precision)

|nostart=yes – suppresses the start link if |1=yes, so that only two links are emitted

|demospace= – set the value to any namespace name to test § Categorization; possible values: see the namespace table.

Categorization

This template automatically adds articles to Category:Navigation pages. Its behavior can be altered by two parameters:

Use param |nocat= to suppress categorization.
Use param |demospace= to test categorization by acting as if the page (param |2= or current PAGENAME) were in the given namespace.
