 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Helpbox. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original Template page. |
 | This template is used on many pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
This template allows a help-related navigation template to be set up relatively quickly by supplying it with one or more lists of links.
Usual syntax
{{Helpbox
| name = <!-- or: | templatename = -->
| title = <!-- or, if templatename used: | name = -->
| group1 =
| list1 =
| group2 =
| list2 =
<!-- etc, to: -->
| group20 =
| list20 =
}}
Parameters
Required
- title (or, if templatename used (see below), name)
- The template's title, centered at the top of the template.
- listn
- (i.e. list1, list2, etc.) The body of the template, usually a list of links. Format is inline, although the text can be entered on separate lines if the entire list is enclosed within
<div>...</div>. At least one list parameter is required. Each listn may be preceded by a corresponding groupn parameter, if provided (see below). There is a limit of 20 lists/groups in a template.
Optional
