Template:NavigationBox

{{{Title}}}
{{{List}}}

Purpose

mag-edit

For creating navigation box footers to group articles together. One example is providing lists of Government officials and Heads of State.

The template has the following parameters: Title, Color, Image, List, Category, Summary.

To use it you can start by copy-and-pasting the following code:

{{NavigationBox
 | Title = 
 | Color = 
 | Image = 
 | List = 
 | Category = 
 | Summary = 
}}

The only mandatory arguments are those for the Title and List parameters. Also, usage of the Summary parameter is recommended, for the benefit of vocal and Braille-based user agents: it should provide a brief textual description of the box contents.

The default for Color is showed in the {{{Title}}} row above.

| List = [[George Washington|Washington]] • [[John Adams|J Adams]] • [[Thomas Jefferson|Jefferson]] • [[James Madison|Madison]] • [[James Monroe|Monroe]] • [[John Quincy Adams|JQ Adams]] • [[Andrew Jackson|Jackson]] • [[Martin Van Buren|Van Buren]] • [[William Henry Harrison|W Harrison]] • [[John Tyler|Tyler]] • [[James K.
