Template:VTE

Template documentation

The VTE template invokes the {{navbar}} template with the parameter mini set to 1.

For more information, see Template:Navbar/doc, which has been transcluded below for convenience.

It is primarily used for content-heavy templates and other transcluded content blocks, so that the content inside the template or block is more easily editable in situ where it was found, without having track it down through examining transclusion code. {{Navbar}}'s extremely high use rate and consequent protection level are because it is integrated as a feature into numerous navigation box and infobox templates used in millions of articles. It is also a regular feature of many internal-use templates and tables of the Wikipedia, Help, and Template namespaces. Usage General When one of the following examples is placed inside a given template (or block of content used for selective transclusion), it adds basic navbar navigational functionality: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline></syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline></syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline></syntaxhighlight> The <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</syntaxhighlight> will be substituted with the page name of the real location of the content when parsed by the servers. For example, <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline></syntaxhighlight> gives: If the page is moved or renamed the substituted text will need to be updated accordingly. Alternatively, you can use {{safesubst:#if:params	{{#invoke:params|{{safesubst:#if:self	self}}	function }}}}	}} instead of <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</syntaxhighlight> to keep track of the current location of the transcluded page: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline></syntaxhighlight> When used in content that is selectively transcluded but which is also used as-is in its original location, this template should be wrapped in {{#switch:p	close =	single	open	pair = <{{#switch:includeonly	categorytree=categorytree	charinsert=charinsert	ce=ce	chem=chem	gallery=gallery	graph=graph	hiero=hiero	includeonly=includeonly	indicator=indicator	imagemap=imagemap	inputbox=inputbox	mapframe=mapframe	maplink=maplink	math=math	math chem=math chem	noinclude=noinclude	nowiki=nowiki	onlyinclude=onlyinclude	poem=poem	pre=pre	ref=ref	references=references	score=score	section=section	source=source	syntaxhighlight=syntaxhighlight	templatedata=templatedata	templatestyles=templatestyles	timeline=timeline	#default=includeonly }}{{#if:| {{{params}}}}} }}{{#switch:p	close =	single = />	open = >	pair = >... }}{{#switch:p	single	open =	close	pair = </includeonly> }} markup, so that it only appears when transcluded. Font size and weight Font-size is 88% when used in a topical navbar template or in plain text, and 100% when nested in a navbox or infobox (because those templates' text size is already reduced; the "100%" is relative to the surrounding template's own content, not that of the entire page). The |{{SAFESUBST:#if:fontstyle|fontstyle=}} parameter can be used to adjust font size as needed (e.g. to reduce font size even more when the template is used inside a block element with a large font size). Do not abuse this to make excessively small text (i.e. less than 85% of the normal page text), since that causes accessibility problems for many readers. In a topical navbar, the weight is "normal"; when nested in a navbox or infobox, it inherits the style of the surrounding content. The middot bullets are bold for better visibility. Block level element The template generates block-level markup with {{#switch:pair	close =	empty|s|single|v|void	open	pair = <{{#if:|div|div}}{{#if:| {{{attribs}}}}} }}{{#switch:pair	close =	empty|s|single|v|void = />	open = >	pair = {{#ifeq:div|!--	>}}... }}{{#switch:pair	empty|s|single|v|void	open =	close	pair = {{#ifeq:div|!--|-->|</div>}} }} tags, and therefore, any surrounding markup cannot include {{#switch:pair	close =	empty|s|single|v|void	open	pair = <{{#if:|span|span}}{{#if:| {{{attribs}}}}} }}{{#switch:pair	close =	empty|s|single|v|void = />	open = >	pair = {{#ifeq:span|!--	>}}... }}{{#switch:pair	empty|s|single|v|void	open =	close	pair = {{#ifeq:span|!--|-->|</span>}} }} tags, which would cause a div-span-flip lint error. Examples Required parameters {{navbar|Template Name}} – the template name is required. Optional parameters Options Parameters Produces... "Shortcut" template Basic {{navbar|Template Name}} Different text {{navbar|Template Name|text=This template:}} Without "This box:" text {{navbar|Template Name|plain=y}} {{view}} Short version {{navbar|Template Name|mini=y}} {{v}} With brackets {{navbar|Template Name|brackets=y}} With font styling examples (span) {{navbar|Template Name|fontstyle=color: green; font-style: italic;}} With whole-template styling examples (div) {{navbar|Template Name|style=float:right; background: Beige; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid;}} History, move, and watchlist links {{navbar|template=Template Name|e|t|h|m|w}} Note that to show the history, move, and watchlist links, |{{SAFESUBST:#if:template|template=}} needs to be set to the template value specifically. Individual values can be left out of this list, e.g. {{navbar|template=Template Name|h|m|w}} will only show the view, history, move, and watchlist links. Shortcut templates The mini=y and plain=y parameters can be avoided by using the {{v}} or {{view}} templates, respectively, instead. {{view}} and {{v}} also support changing the shown links, for example only view and edit, or only view and talk: Code Result template=view/doc}}</syntaxhighlight> template=view/doc|talk}}</syntaxhighlight> template=view/doc|talk|edit}}</syntaxhighlight> template=v/doc}}</syntaxhighlight> template=v/doc|t}}</syntaxhighlight> template=v/doc|t|e}}</syntaxhighlight> Notes Navbar is contained within a {{#switch:pair	close =	empty|s|single|v|void	open	pair = <{{#if:|div|div}}{{#if:| {{{attribs}}}}} }}{{#switch:pair	close =	empty|s|single|v|void = />	open = >	pair = {{#ifeq:div|!--	>}}... }}{{#switch:pair	empty|s|single|v|void	open =	close	pair = {{#ifeq:div|!--|-->|</div>}} }} in order to accommodate a horizontal unnumbered list. This means it cannot be placed inside a {{#switch:pair	close =	empty|s|single|v|void	open	pair = <{{#if:|span|span}}{{#if:| {{{attribs}}}}} }}{{#switch:pair	close =	empty|s|single|v|void = />	open = >	pair = {{#ifeq:span|!--	>}}... }}{{#switch:pair	empty|s|single|v|void	open =	close	pair = {{#ifeq:span|!--|-->|</span>}} }} or other inline element, because the HTML Tidy extension will 'fix' situations where it finds block elements inside inline elements. Prepackaged {{Navbar-header}} Positions on the right edge of the line, often used in non-collapsible navbox heading. {{Navbar-collapsible}} For use in conjunction with collapsible tables, floats opposite of the [hide]/[show] feature.
