Template:Navbox with collapsible groups

Subpages of this template:

doc

This template produces a navigational template that has groups of relevant articles on a certain topic. All groups are hidden by default. However, with a parameter call, an individual group can be shown that has the other articles in the same group.

For simpler navboxes that do not require multiple collapsible groups, use {{Navbox}}.

Usage

Please remove the parameters that are left blank. The template currently supports up to 10 groups/lists but more can be added if needed. If you do not need more than two groups/lists, use {{Navbox}} instead.

{{Navbox with collapsible groups
| name     = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| state    = 
| selected = {{{1|}}}
| collapse = 

| title      = 
| image      = 
| above      = 

| group1 = 
| abbr1  = 
| list1  = 

| group2 = 
| abbr2  = 
| list2  =

| group10 =

Parameters

This template shares many common parameters with its sister template {{Navbox}}. The common parameters are marked with a cross^†. Please refer to the documentation of {{Navbox}} for more in depth descriptions and examples of those parameters.

Setup parameters

name^†: The name of the template. The name of this template, for example, is "Navbox with collapsible groups".

state^† [uncollapsed, collapsed, off]: The initial state of the show/hide feature for the main title only. See {{Navbox}} for more information. Does not affect display or hiding of group items, see state_n, below.

collapse^† [uncollapsed, collapsed, off]: The initial state of the show/hide feature for all groups. Set to collapsed by default. See {{Navbox}} for more information. This can be overridden for individual groups with state_n, below.

Basic data parameters

title^†: The title of the template, displayed centered in the titlebar at the top of the template.

above^†: Text or other elements to appear above groups/lists.

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.:

[[File:XX.jpg|90px|link=|alt=]]

below^†: Text or other elements to appear below the groups/lists.

Group/list parameters

group_n^†: The title of each section.

list_n^†: The content/wikilinks that will be shown in the group. Use dots or bullets as separators. A {{Navbox}} can optionally be used here with its border = child parameter set. If this is done, leave the corresponding group_n blank as the child navbox provides the collapsible feature.

abbr_n: This is the abbreviation of the group. See selected parameter immediately below to see how to use this parameter. This parameter is optional but recommended.

selected: If the value of selected equals the value of abbr_n, then list_n is uncollapsed and all other lists are collapsed. If selected is left blank, or if it does not match any abbr_n, then all groups are collapsed. This parameter should typically be set to {{{1|}}}. Since this template is a base template for others, there has to be a way to pass the group parameter from the article, to the secondary template, to this one.

To assist users of the new navbox, list the collapsed/uncollapsed options on the template's {{Documentation}} page transcluded in the <noinclude> section.

state_n [autocollapse, uncollapsed, collapsed, plain, off]: The initial collapsible state of list_n. Set to collapsed by default. Overridden to uncollapsed if selected equals abbr_n.

image_n: An image to appear in the list_n content area on the right side.
