Takes multiple parameters: the year# (year 101 or higher), followed by the main subject (such as: music), followed by optional related subjects, separated by vertical bars:

• The year# becomes the bolded center of the 20-year range for the main subject, and any (optional) related subjects are displayed with a 6-year selection range.
• For the first subject "xxx" there should be an article (or redirection) using the name "List_of_years_in_xxx" (which is the top line displayed in the navigation-box).
• For the first subject "xxx" there should be a specific all-years navigation article using the name "Table_of_years_in_xxx" (the "table" link displayed in box), which has a compressed table linking all year/decade articles about the subject (such as: "Table of years in film").
• The box width expands 5%-15% for optional subjects, widening to fit longer names (such as "archaeology" or "video gaming").

The example code is on the left, and the wiki-box display is on the right.
