Template:Navbox right/doc

 is one of the fundamental building blocks of the wiki. It allows you to very quickly make an navigational box, or navbox, that fits into the overall style of the rest of the wiki.

Usage

 * 1) Begin a new template page
 * 2) Insert the following
 * 3) Substitute the title at  and the list of things at
 * 4) Publish!

Example
Let's imagine there's a need for a new navbox that lists the various US presidents seen in the DWU. There's not, but let's imagine it.

We'd begin by creating a page called Template:POTUS. On that brand new page we'd enter the following code:

It's really very easy. Just

Display
What do you get by using this approach to creating a navbox? Something that works right out of the box. No fiddling with code, no experimenting with colours, no sizing this margin or that ''padding' setting. It'll fit right under any pre-existing infoboxes and look like it belongs on the page. It just works

Proper usage
Generally speaking, navboxes that are in this position are discouraged. You are generally recommended to use for a bottom-of-page navbox. We don't want all navigation happening in a 260px wide column on the right of the page!

However, there are a few points of navigation which are better done underneath a navbox. Generally, such cases are things with a small list that doesn't change often and can be compacted down to a few number of characters. Examples include, , and.

If your navbox is more than 50% as tall as the infobox on the page, you should be using instead.

Also, this template should never be directly used on a page in the main namespace. You should always create another template which then calls this template. See, for instance, the code at.

Limitations
This navbox only allows for two rows: the title, and the list. More could be added, but more won't be added. This template is for very simple lists only.
