Template:Nb main/doc

Template used for building navboxes.

Standard navboxes (i.e. those inserted at the bottom of an article) are collapsible and will be auto-collapsed if there are more than 2 of them on a page (number can be changed in MediaWiki:Common.js). Side navboxes are not collapsible and do not count towards this limit.

Premade navboxes

 * Template:Navbox: Bottom; one row and (optional) footer.
 * Template:Navbox group: Bottom; up to 8 main groups with (optional) sub-headers and up to 5 sub-groups each.
 * Template:Navbox side: Side (left or right), up to 5 groups of up to 4 rows each with (optional) sub-headers.

Usage
Please note that in order to maintain a standardized look, the width should only be changed if really necessary (e.g. for sideboxes). All boxes placed at the bottom should keep the standard width, i.e. no width attribute should be specified.

The name attribute should be set at top level, i.e. in the navbox that actually contains content. All intermediate templates (those which are used to construct the final product) should hand the attribute down to Template:Nb main.

Optional: Use any combination of components you like. All components support changing their text-alignment via "align" (align1 and align2 for the group row). See component pages for details.
 * width=Width of your navbox, e.g. 250px or 60% (defaults to 80%).
 * position=left, right or bottom (defaults to bottom)
 * showedit=yes/no, shows/hides the view/edit/talk bar in the top left (defaults to yes).
