New page

==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.

{|class=wikitable style="margin-left:30px"
|-
!style=width:200px|Template !!style=width:300px|Code !!Description
|-
|'''[[Template:Navbox|Navbox]]'''
|<code><nowiki>{{Navbox|title=|groups=|footer=}}</nowiki></code> ||Adds the frame for the navigation table
*"<code><nowiki>title=</nowiki></code>" adds the first header
*"<code><nowiki>groups=</nowiki></code>" is for everything in between
*"<code><nowiki>footer=</nowiki></code>" for adding extra related links at the bottom of the table.
|-
!colspan=3|templates used in [[template:Navbox|Navbox]] "groups=" area
|-
|'''[[Template:Navbox-odd|Navbox-odd]] and [[Template:Navbox-even|Navbox-even]]'''
|<code><nowiki>{{Navbox-odd|group=|links=}}</nowiki></code> ||Use these in the "<code><nowiki>groups=</nowiki></code>" area of the [[Template:Navbox|Navbox template]]<br>Adds the groups and their links. The only difference between them is the background color behind the links (odd is white, even is gray).
|-
|'''[[Template:Navbox-header|Navbox-header]]'''
|<code><nowiki>{{Navbox-header|title=}}</nowiki></code> ||Use these also in the "<code><nowiki>groups=</nowiki></code>" area, to create new sections.
|-
|}
====Example====
<pre style="margin-left:40px;">
{{Navbox|title=Navigation Table|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}}
</pre>
===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 <code><nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki></code> instead of normal <code>|</code> vertical bars, else you break the template
*You need to add <code>colspan=</code> to every [[Template:Navbox-odd|Navbox-odd]] and [[Template:Navbox-even]] template if you decide add extra columns anywhere. This stretches out the "links" cell.
*You need to add <code><nowiki>class=navbox-group</nowiki><code> and <code><nowiki>class=navbox-odd</nowiki></code> (or <code><nowiki>class=navbox-even</nowiki></code>) 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
<pre style="margin-left:40px;">
{{Navbox-odd|links=
!class="navbox-group"{{!}}Group title
{{!}}class="navbox-odd"{{!}}[[Links]]}}</pre>

;Here I add extra colspan to stretch the next row's link cell
<pre style="margin-left:40px;">
{{Navbox-odd|colspan=3|links=}}
</pre>
