 | 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.
