Template documentation | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
Usage
General
When one of the following examples is placed inside a given template, it adds navbar navigational functionality:
The {{subst:PAGENAME}} will be substituted with the template's name when parsed by the servers.
For example, {{Navbar|navbar/doc}} gives:
Font-size
Font-size is 88% when used in a navbar, and 100% when nested in a navbox.
In the navbar, the weight is "normal"; when nested in navbox, it takes on the outer setting.
The middot is bold.
Examples
Required parameters
- {{Navbar|template name}} — the template name is required.
Optional parameters
TemplateData
 | This template is used in system messages, and on approximately 41,000 pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
{{Navbar}}'s extremely high use rate and consequent protection level are because it is integrated as a feature into numerous navigation box and infobox templates used in millions of articles. It is also a regular feature of many internal-use templates and tables of the Wikipedia, Help, and Template namespaces.
Usage
General
When one of the following examples is placed inside a given template (or block of content used for selective transclusion), it adds basic navbar navigational functionality:
{{navbar|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|mini=y}}{{navbar|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|plain=y}}{{navbar|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|fontstyle=color: green; font-style: italic;}}
The {{subst:PAGENAME}} will be substituted with the page name of the real location of the content when parsed by the servers. For example, {{navbar|Navbar/doc}} gives:
· <span style="" title="<translate nowrap> Edit this template</translate>"><translate> edit</translate>
When used in content that is selectively transcluded but which is also used as-is in its original location, this template should be wrapped in <includeonly>...</includeonly> markup, so that it only appears when transcluded.
Font size and weight
Font-size is 88% when used in a topical navbar template or in plain text, and 100% when nested in a navbox or infobox (because those templates' text size is already reduced; the "100%" is relative to the surrounding template's own content, not that of the entire page). The |fontstyle= parameter can be used to adjust font size as needed (e.g. to reduce font size even more when the template is used inside a block element with a large font size). Do not abuse this to make excessively small text (i.e. less than 85% of the normal page text), since that causes accessibility problems for many readers.
In a topical navbar, the weight is "normal"; when nested in a navbox or infobox, it inherits the style of the surrounding content. The middot bullets are bold for better visibility.
Block level element
The template generates block-level markup with <div>...</div> tags, and therefore, any surrounding markup cannot include <span>...</span> tags, which would cause a div-span-flip lint error.
Examples
Required parameters
{{navbar|Template Name}}– the template name is required.
Optional parameters
Note that to show the history, move, and watchlist links, |template= needs to be set to the template value specifically. Individual values can be left out of this list, e.g. {{navbar|template=Template Name|h|m|w}} will only show the view, history, move, and watchlist links.
Shortcut templates
The mini=y and plain=y parameters can be avoided by using the {{v}} or {{view}} templates, respectively, instead.
{{view}} and {{v}} also support changing the shown links, for example only view and edit, or only view and talk:
| Code | Result |
|---|---|
| template=view/doc}} | |
| template=view/doc|talk}} | |
| template=view/doc|talk|edit}} | |
| template=v/doc}} | |
| template=v/doc|t}} | |
| template=v/doc|t|e}} |
Notes
Navbar is contained within a <div>...</div> in order to accommodate a horizontal unnumbered list. This means it cannot be placed inside a <span>...</span> or other inline element, because the HTML Tidy extension will 'fix' situations where it finds block elements inside inline elements.
Prepackaged
- {{Navbar-header}}
- Positions · <span style="" title="<translate nowrap> Edit this template</translate>"><translate> e</translate> on the right edge of the line, often used in non-collapsible navbox heading.
- {{Navbar-collapsible}}
- For use in conjunction with collapsible tables, floats · <span style="" title="<translate nowrap> Edit this template</translate>"><translate> e</translate> opposite of the [hide]/[show] feature.
