Template:Navbox/old

Template documentation ()

---

Overhaul of the navigation tables is being made. The original template layout was moved here so it can still be used. Just replace what was {{Navbox}} with {{Navbox/old}} and things should work as they used to. But please try to help converting old navigation tables to the new layout, it is basically just a copy-paste

How to use this Template

Fill it with the following info

• title= Title of navigation
• groups= use the {{Navbox-odd}} and {{Navbox-even}} templates to create rows between the title and footer
• footer= Add extra links to other relative pages

Creating Navigation tables

A few templates have been created, which when used together become a pretty neat looking navigation table. The WikiWriter is in charge of template making, but I thought I would add this to explain how they are created in case of editing.

Template	Code	Description
Navbox/old	{{Navbox/old|title=|template=|groups=|footer=}}	Adds the frame for the navigation table "title=" adds the first header "template=" Name of the template, case sensitive! (skip the "Template:" part) "groups=" is for everything in between "footer=" for adding extra related links at the bottom of the table.
templates used in Navbox "groups=" area
Navbox-odd and Navbox-even	{{Navbox-odd|group=|links=}}	Use these in the "groups=" area of the Navbox template Adds the groups and their links. The only difference between them is the background color behind the links (odd is white, even is gray).
Navbox-header	{{Navbox-header|title=}}	Use these also in the "groups=" area, to create new sections.

Example

{{Navbox/old|title=Navigation Table |template=Navbox|groups=
{{Navbox-odd|group=Interesting links|links=[[Template:Navbox|]]}}
{{Navbox-header|title=Filler section}}
{{Navbox-odd|group=Group 1|links=[[Template:Navbox-odd|]] • [[Template:Navbox-even|]]}}
{{Navbox-even|group=Group 2|links=[[Template:Navbox-header|]]}}
|footer=See Also}}

Adding extra columns and cells

By default each row is just one group, but since this is still a table you can add columns and such. But this is a bit more complicated.

• When adding extra cells, it follows the normal template system, but you need to write {{!}} instead of normal | vertical bars, else you break the template
• You need to add colspan= to every Navbox-odd and Template:Navbox-even template if you decide add extra columns anywhere. This stretches out the "links" cell.
• You need to add class=navbox-group and class=navbox-odd (or class=navbox-even) to the cells you have manually added, so the CSS can color it like the rest of the table.

Here I add extra two cells to a row, a group and links

{{Navbox-odd|links=
!class="navbox-group"{{!}}Group title
{{!}}class="navbox-odd"{{!}}[[Links]]}}

Here I add extra colspan to stretch the next row's link cell

{{Navbox-odd|colspan=3|links=}}
