Template:Subject bar
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]This navigational template offers a variant to several floating box templates that link to portals, and Wikipedia's sister projects but also typically cause formatting issues because of their size and alignment.
It is intended to be placed at the end of an article, after the references, external links, navboxes and before any authority control template or categories.
Usage
No single parameter is required, however, at least one portal or sister project should be utilized with the use of this template. Since Wikipedia articles typically are in the domain of one or more WikiProjects, and since WikiProjects often have a portal, almost every article should list at least one portal. None of the parameters should be capitalized.
Parameters
When copying all parameters in either the vertical or horizontal layouts, delete those which are not needed. If no links are needed for a particular type, such as the historical "books", that part of the template will not appear on the page.
