Forum:A Main Navbox, instead of multiple edits?

My Wikia; http://jakanddaxter.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Now my Q is; when we make a Navbox we obviously mass-post it at the Articles. Sometimes this is rather messy, as we tend to change or forget small things afterwards. Would it instead be possible to create some kind of Template:NavboxCharacters and place that template at the designated page. Then the template would just copy the navbox on the official navbox page. So we only have to change the Main Navbox which will automatically change the ones that are on the articles, right? I think I saw this someone, but navigation is annoying on the Wikia's. Something with substitution?

Thanks in advance, --Light Daxter 20:44, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Why should it not be possible? The clue is to not substitute :P 20:50, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * >_> Aha, in that case, is the help I need on the Shared Template's (or something)? I'm not a guy that's good with codes, but if someone could tell me the right direction? --Light Daxter 21:00, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * On wich page of jakanddaxter.wikia do you need help exactly ? — TulipVorlax 23:32, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * All of them? I'm just wondering if it's possible to create a Template, that would simply contain the Navbox. And then if you'd change the Template itself all the ones on the articles would change too? --Light Daxter 18:20, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's possible; that's basically the point of having templates. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 18:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, Just create eg navbox template call Template:Navbox and put all what you want to put there, and go to a random page and add  and you keep doing that in a couple of more pages, lets say 100. But then you say "hey this border is not that great with the wiki skin" so you go back to Template:Navbox and change the border and 100 pages will change. If you use   (see the   at the start?) will substitute that line for all the code, but if you update Template:Navbox all the pages that got substitute will not get updated. Hope this helps you --
