Template:Navbox with collapsible groups
Navbox suite |
---|
|
This template produces a navigation 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.
Usage
Please remove the parameters that are left blank. The template currently supports up to 20 groups/lists but more can be added if needed. You should use a minimum of two groups/lists; otherwise, use {{Navbox}} instead.

Parameters
This template shares many common parameters with its sister templates {{Navbox}} and {{Navbox with columns}}. 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, plain, off
] - The initial state of the show/hide feature for the main title. See {{Navbox}} for more information. Does not affect display or hiding of group items, see staten, below.
- state† [
- navbar†
- Possible values are
plain
,off
, and the default value of blank. See {{Navbox}} for more information.
- border†
- Possible values are
child
,none
, and the default value of blank. Set tochild
if you wish to use the navbox inside of another navbox; with this option, the child navbox is borderless and fits snuggly inside of its parent navbox. The parent navbox may be the list area of {{Navbox}}, the columns of a {{Navbox with columns}}, or a list area of {{Navbox with collapsible groups}}. See {{Navbox}} for more information and examples.
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†
- Image to the right of all of the groups/lists.
- imageleft†
- Image to the left of all of the groups/lists.
- below†
- Text or other elements to appear below the groups/lists.
Group/list parameters
- groupn†
- The title of each section.
- listn†
- The content/wikilinks that will be shown in the group.
Use dots or bullets as separators (see the See also section).A {{Navbox}} or {{Navbox with columns}} can optionally be used here with itsborder = child
parameter set. If this is done, leave the corresponding groupn blank, as the child navbox will already provide the collapsible feature.
- abbrn
- 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 ofabbrn
, then listn is uncollapsed and all other lists are collapsed. Ifselected
is left blank, or if it does not match anyabbrn
, then all groups are collapsed. Usually this parameter should 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.
- The collapsed/uncollapsed options can be listed on the template's page by using the {{Collapsible sections option}} template in the <noinclude> part of the page.
- staten [
uncollapsed, collapsed, plain, off
] - The initial collapsible state of listn. Set to collapsed by default. Overridden to uncollapsed if
selected
equalsabbrn
.
- staten [
- imagen
- An image to appear in the listn content area on the right side.
- imageleftn
- An image to appear in the listn content area on the left side.
Style parameters
- bodystyle†
- CSS style/s to apply to the entire template
- titlestyle†
- CSS style/s to apply to titlebar; usually
background:color
. The color of wikilink text must be manually changed using span tags. For example usetitle = [[Scouting|<span style="color:ivory;">Scouting</span>]]
to change the color of the link to ivory. The [show]/[hide] button and the vde link button use the color set in the titlestyle parameter. Here is an example of setting the titlestyle:titlestyle = background:darkgreen;color:ivory;
- abovestyle†
- belowstyle†
- CSS style/s to apply to the above and below parameters, respectively.
- basestyle†
- CSS style/s to apply to the title, above, below, and groupn parameters, all at the same time.
- imagestyle†
- CSS style/s to apply to the image parameter. Does not get applied to the imagen parameters.
- imageleftstyle†
- CSS style/s to apply to the imageleft parameter. Does not get applied to the imageleftn parameters.
- groupstyle†
- CSS style/s to apply to all group heading parameters. Visit this website to get a lighter color similar to the title background color. Example:
groupstyle = background:lightgreen;
- groupnstyle†
- CSS style/s to apply to a specific group heading; overrides any CSS styles set in groupstyle.
- liststyle†
- CSS style/s to apply to all list content parameters.

Nesting plain navboxes
To nest a plain navbox (that is, a navbox that would be specified with the {{Navbox}} template) inside a Navbox with collapsible groups, set the listn
parameter to child
or subgroup
. Elements of the child navbox can be specified by prepending childn_
, subgroupn_
, or just n_
to the parameter names (e.g. 1_list1
). Child navboxes can be nested by adding an additional prefix (e.g. 1_1_list1
). The basic code for doing this is as follows (which adds a subgroup for the first group/list area):
{{Navbox with collapsible groups | name = {{subst:PAGENAME}} | title = Title | group1 = Group Title | list1 = child | 1_title = [optional] | 1_group1 = [optional] | 1_list1 = child | 1_1_title = [optional] | 1_1_group1 = [optional] | 1_1_list1 = ...list contents... ... ... }}
Nesting other Navbox forms
Other Navbox forms can be nested by including the template with the first parameter set to child
. This example shows {{Navbox}}, {{Navbox with collapsible groups}} and {{Navbox with columns}} all working together. Press the edit button for the section to view the code. Note that this nesting can lead to a large increase in the template's post-expand include size.
Technical details
- This template is a shortcut for the syntax shown at Template:Navbox/doc § Multiple show/hides in a single container. It uses Module:Navbox with collapsible groups which in turn calls Module:Navbox to render the actual navbox.
- Navbox templates, including this one, are a major contributor to the post-expand include size of pages, and can cause pages to exceed the limit and not render correctly. There are a few ways to mitigate this.
{{Navbox with collapsible groups}}
can be replaced with{{#invoke:Navbox with collapsible groups|navbox}}
, which approximately halves the include size- Nesting other templates inside of a navbox can cause the include size increase by a factor of two or more. This template currently supports the same in-line child syntax supported by {{Navbox}}, which mitigates this, but only for plain Navboxes (not other Navboxes with collapsible groups or Navboxes with columns).
