Editing Template:Navbox/doc (section)

=== Cells ===
; ''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 <code><nowiki>{{-}}</nowiki></code> to ensure proper centering. This parameter is technically not mandatory, but using {{tl|Navbox}} is rather pointless without a title.
; ''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 the ''list1'' parameter without the ''group1'' parameter.
; ''group<sub>n</sub>''*
: (i.e. ''group1'', ''group2'', etc.) If specified, text appears in a header cell displayed to the left of ''list<sub>n</sub>''. If omitted, ''list<sub>n</sub>'' uses the full width of the table.
; ''list<sub>n</sub>''*
: (i.e. ''list1'', ''list2'', etc.) 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 <code><nowiki><div> </div></nowiki></code>. At least one ''list'' parameter is required; each additional ''list'' is displayed in a separate row of the table. Each ''list<sub>n</sub>'' may be preceded by a corresponding ''group<sub>n</sub>'' parameter, if provided (see below).
:Entries should be separated using a [[newline]] and an [[asterisk]] (*). If instead two asterisks are used, it provides [[Nesting (computing)|nesting]] within the previous entry by enclosing the entry with brackets. Increasing the number of asterisks used increases the number of brackets around entries.
:Set to the keyword <code>child</code> or <code>subgroup</code> to denote that the list is using the inline [[#Child navboxes]] (does not work with {{tl|Navbox with columns}} or {{tl|Navbox with collapsible groups}}).
; ''image''*
: An image to be displayed in a cell below the title and to the right of the body (the groups/lists). For the image to display properly, the ''list1'' parameter must be specified. The ''image'' parameter accepts standard wikicode for displaying an image, ''e.g.'': <pre>[[File:</nowiki><var>XX</var><nowiki>.jpg|80px|link=|alt=]]</pre> nb: including "|right" will produce the usual left margin to provide separation from the list items and [[Zebra striping (computer graphics)|zebra striping]].
:Note that most of such images don't comply with [[MOS:DECOR]] and should be removed at sight. A rare example of a correct usage would be [[special:permalink/995622594|this one]]: a map shows (in green) the location of a region within the state of Kazakhstan, and this is consistently implemented for [[:category:Kazakhstan region templates|all state's regions]].
; ''imageleft''*
: An image to be displayed in a cell below the title and to the left of the body (lists). For the image to display properly, the ''list1'' parameter must be specified and no groups can be specified. It accepts the same sort of parameter that ''image'' accepts.
; ''below''*
: A full-width cell displayed ''below'' the template's body (groups, lists and image). In a template without an image, ''below'' behaves in the same way as the template's final ''list<sub>n</sub>'' parameter without a ''group<sub>n</sub>'' parameter. For an example of the ''below'' parameter in use, see {{oldid|Main Page|352612160|this}} version of {{tl|Lists of the provinces and territories of Canada}}. {{tl|icon}} is often used for non-article links, for example <code><nowiki>{{icon|category}} [[:Category:</nowiki>''name''<nowiki>|Category]]</nowiki></code>.
