Template:Navbox with collapsible groups/doc
This template produces a navigational template that has groups of relevant articles on a certain topic. All groups are hidden by default. However, with a parameter call, an individual group can be shown that has the other articles in the same group.
Usage[edit source]
Please remove the parameters that are left blank. The template currently supports up to 10 groups/lists but more can be added if needed. You should use a minimum of two groups/lists; otherwise, use {{Navbox}} instead.
{{Navbox with collapsible groups |name = {{subst:PAGENAME}} |state = |selected = {{{1|}}} |title = |titlestyle = |groupstyle = |image = |group1 = |abbr1 = |list1 = |group2 = |abbr2 = |list2 = ... |group10 = |abbr10 = |list10 = }}
Parameters[edit source]
This template shares many common parameters with its sister templates {{Navbox}} and {{Navbox with columns}}. The common parameters are marked with a cross†. Please refer to the documentation of {{Navbox}} for more in depth descriptions and examples of those parameters.
Setup parameters[edit source]
- name†
- The name of the template. The name of this template, for example, is "Navbox with collapsible groups".
- state† [
autocollapse, uncollapsed, collapsed, plain, off
] - The initial state of the show/hide feature for the main title. See {{Navbox}} for more information. Does not affect display or hiding of group items, see staten, below.
- state† [
- navbar†
- Possible values are
plain
,off
, and the default value of blank. See {{Navbox}} for more information.
- border†
- Possible values are
child
,none
, and the default value of blank. Set tochild
if you wish to use the navbox inside of another navbox; with this option, the child navbox is borderless and fits snuggly inside of its parent navbox. The parent navbox may be the list area of {{Navbox}}, the columns of a {{Navbox with columns}}, or a list area of {{Navbox with collapsible groups}}. See {{Navbox}} for more information and examples.
Basic data parameters[edit source]
- title†
- The title of the template, displayed centered in the titlebar at the top of the template.
- above†
- Text or other elements to appear above groups/lists.
- image†
- Image to the right of all of the groups/lists.
- imageleft†
- Image to the left of all of the groups/lists.
- below†
- Text or other elements to appear below the groups/lists.
Group/list parameters[edit source]
- groupn†
- The title of each section.
- listn†
- The content/wikilinks that will be shown in the group. Use dots or bullets as separators (see the See also section). A {{Navbox}} or {{Navbox with columns}} can optionally be used here with its
border = child
parameter set. If this is done, leave the corresponding groupn blank, as the child navbox will already provide the collapsible feature.
- abbrn
- This is the abbreviation of the group. See
selected
parameter immediately below to see how to use this parameter. This parameter is optional, but recommended.
- selected
- If the value of
selected
equals the value ofabbrn
, then listn is uncollapsed and all other lists are collapsed. Ifselected
is left blank, or if it does not match anyabbrn
, then all groups are collapsed. Usually this parameter should be set to {{{1|}}}. Since this template is a base template for others, there has to be a way to pass the group parameter from the article, to the secondary template to this one.
- staten [
autocollapse, uncollapsed, collapsed, plain, off
] - The initial collapsible state of listn. Set to collapsed by default. Overridden to uncollapsed if
selected
equalsabbrn
.
- staten [
- imagen

- imageleftn
- An image to appear in the listn content area on the left side.

[edit source]
You can conveniently nest Navboxes, including {{Navbox with collapsible groups}}, to get an unlimited number of groups/lists. The following example uses one instance of {{Navbox with collapsible groups}} to get the first 10 collapsible groups, a nested instance to get the next 10, and another nested instance to get the last 6. See the code to learn how it works. It is fairly simple to extend this to as many groups/lists as you like:
