Parameters
Mandatory
name
The name of the template, which is needed for the "v · t · e" ("view · talk · edit") links to work properly on all pages where the template is used. You can enter{{subst:PAGENAME}} for this value as a shortcut.
title
Text that appears centered in the top row of the table. It is usually the template's topic, i.e. a succinct description of the body contents. This should be a single line, but if a second line is needed, use{{-}} to ensure proper centering.
listn
(i.e.list1,list2, etc. up tolist20) The body of the template, usually a list of links. Format is inline, although the text can be entered on separate lines if the entire list is enclosed within. At least onelist parameter is required; each additionallist is displayed in a separate row of the table. Eachlistn may be preceded by a correspondinggroupn parameter, if provided (see below).
background
Use one of the following seven categories:

Cells
groupn
(i.e.group1,group2, etc. up togroup20) If specified, text appears in a cell displayed to the left oflistn. Use these fields to provide label a forlistn, such as "Studio albums", "Films", "Former members", etc.
above
A full-width cell displayed between the titlebar and first group/list, i.e.above the template's body (groups, lists and image). In a template without an image,above behaves in the same way as thelist1 parameter without thegroup1 parameter.
below
A full-width cell displayedbelow the template's body (groups, lists and image).
Other
state
Defaults toautocollapse. If set tocollapsed, the navbox will always start out in a collapsed state. If set to blank or anything other thanautocollapse orcollapsed, the navbox will always start out in an expanded state. A navbox withautocollapse will start out collapsed if there are two or more tables on the same page that usecollapsible. For the technically minded, seeMediaWiki:Common.js.
links on the left side of the titlebar will not be displayed.
Examples
{{Navbox}} is used to build this template.{{Navbox}} uses the{{Nowraplinks}} CSS class thus links do not line break in this template. If there are non-linked portions of text that need to be controlled for wrapping use thehlist class (seeWP:HLIST). If a small space between groups is desired leave an empty line between them.
