{{Template group}}

This template uses Lua:

The {{Navboxes}} template is used to group several navigation boxes together.

Warning: This template effectively doubles the post-expand include size of the navbox templates, which can cause the templates not to display. For large numbers of navboxes, use {{Navboxes top}} and {{Navboxes bottom}} instead.

Usage

Blank syntax

{{Navboxes
|title = <!-- optional, default is "Links to related articles" -->
|titlestyle = <!-- optional -->
|state = <!-- optional, default is collapsed -->
|list1 = <!-- required, or |list= -->
}}

Parameters

title (optional)

Alternate text to be placed in title box, defaults to "Links to related articles".

state (optional)

collapsed to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state, this is the default state

expanded to show this template in its expanded (fully visible) state

autocollapse to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state only if there is another collapsible template on the page

list (required)

list of the templates to be grouped

Examples

{{Navboxes
| title = Giovanni Trapattoni navboxes
| state = expanded
| titlestyle = background: lightblue <!-- or hexcode-like #AAFFFF, defaults to #CCCCFF (violet) -->
| list1  = {{Italy Squad 1962 World Cup}}
{{Italy national football team managers}}
{{Republic of Ireland national football team managers}}
{{A.C. Milan managers}}
{{F.C. Internazionale Milano managers}}
{{Juventus F.C. managers}}
{{Bayern Munich managers}}
{{Cagliari Calcio managers}}
{{ACF Fiorentina managers}}
{{Italy Squad 2002 World Cup}}
{{S.L. Benfica managers}}
{{VfB Stuttgart managers}}
{{FC Red Bull Salzburg Squad}}
}}

which gives:

On larger pages, this should be replaced with:

{{Navboxes top
| title = Giovanni Trapattoni navboxes
| state = expanded
| titlestyle = background: lightblue <!-- or hexcode-like #AAFFFF, defaults to #CCCCFF (violet) -->
}}
{{Italy Squad 1962 World Cup}}
{{Italy national football team managers}}
{{Republic of Ireland national football team managers}}
{{A.C. Milan managers}}
{{F.C. Internazionale Milano managers}}
{{Juventus F.C. managers}}
{{Bayern Munich managers}}
{{Cagliari Calcio managers}}
{{ACF Fiorentina managers}}
{{Italy Squad 2002 World Cup}}
{{S.L. Benfica managers}}
{{VfB Stuttgart managers}}
{{FC Red Bull Salzburg Squad}}
{{Navboxes bottom}}

Coordinates template

The {{coord}} template may be included in the template group. Just remember to set the |display= parameter equal to "inline" thus: {{coord|18|25|53|N|64|37|23|W|display=inline}}. This enables the coordinates to appear no matter what skin you're in. The {{coord}} template can even be nested in a Navbox titled Geographic locale, which is already found on many country pages.

{{Navboxes
|title = Geographic locale
|list1 = 
'''[[Geographic coordinate system|Lat. and Long.]] {{coord|18|25|53|N|64|37|23|W|display=inline}} {{color|darkblue|([[Road Town]], [[British Virgin Islands]])}}'''
}}

Succession boxes

Any instances of |- in a succession box should be replaced with {{!}}-, or {{Navboxes top}} and {{Navboxes bottom}} should be used instead.
