Parameters
Mandatory
- name
- Mandatory when creating a new template. You can enter
{{subst:PAGENAME}}for this value as a shortcut.
One of the following combinations is needed to create the links:
- prefix
- Places text before the district or city name.
- suffix
- Places text after the district or city name.
- prefix and suffix
- Places text before and after the district or city name.
- Note: The title in this example should be replaced by using the title parameter described below.
Optional
- state
- A navbox with
autocollapsewill start out collapsed if there are two or more tables on the same page that usecollapsible. If set tocollapsed, the navbox will always start out in a collapsed state. If set to blank or anything other thanautocollapseorcollapsed, the navbox will always start out in an expanded state. - Default is:
autocollapse.
- title
- Text that appears centered in the titlebar (the top bar). This is optional because the use of either prefix, suffix or both will automatically generate a title if the title parameter is not supplied. This parameter is not automatically wiki-linked.
- navbar*
- Defaults to
Tnavbar. If set toplain, the v • d • e links on the left side of the titlebar will not be displayed, and padding will be automatically used to keep the title centered. Useoffto remove the v • d • e links, but not apply padding (this is for advanced use only; the "plain" option should suffice for most applications where a navbar is not desired). Note that it is highly recommended that one does not hide the navbar, in order to make it easier for users to edit the template, and to keep a standard style across pages.
Excluding group
- exclude-dis
- Set to any value this excludes display of the group named Districts.
- exclude-cor
- Set to any value this excludes display of the group named Municipal Corporations.
