Forum:Navbox templates on new wikias?

Good afternoon,

I want to know if the navbox capabilities are available on the new wikis (like within the last week)? If not, how could I get this navbox onto the wiki? The navbox I'm referring to is the group one where there is multiple sub-templates listed in the group navbox. Is this easy to do or hard? LoneThrasherWolf37 19:23, August 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Please link to an example of a box similar to what you require as there are different versions of navbox in use on wiki that have been created a different times by many editors. Wikia has a basic version of Navbox available on the Templates Wiki that has been create for use on wikia. The wikipedia suite of navbox templates is very complex and uses additional code in the MediaWiki:Common.css and .js files to perform the styling customisation and the collapse functions & when imported can soon run int dozens of templates if the doc pages are also imported along with hundreds of red links and categories. Some wikis have used it after modifications and a lot of effort to clean up the doc pages etc. - BulldozerD11 22:55, August 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * The link is for Wikipedia's Navbox with collapsible groups and I wanted to know how this one is available or not. LoneThrasherWolf37 23:14, August 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you look here you will see a list at the bottom of the associated templates + others are also required which are sub templates of them when you copy them. Note some are just used in the documentation & examples. Wikia has a simper version of Doc with just a couple of templates were as wikipedia use 4 main ones and a number of others to build the Doc subpage system. As i have said on another post Wikipedia templates are like a ice berg - you only see the tip of it. The version from 18 month ago is working on my tractor wiki but only after a lot of messing about. Do you really need nested collapsible group or can you just stack the normal navboxes ! - BulldozerD11 00:47, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's a link to Wikia Templates in case you want it. I suggest you don't use Wikipedia collapsible templates; in fact, I don't really think collapsible navboxes are all that essential. Wikia has plenty of other very visible means of navigation. However, if you do want to use it - full instructions on how to set up a navbox template on Wikia are here, and a simple walkthrough by one user is here.

#if is present?
If I want more than one #if code to be included, how do I do that? Sundogs American Law Wiki • Apple Wiki 23:48, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * If this code is entered in template coding, how do I get two or more of them to work in the same template or should I create a nested navbox? Sundogs American Law Wiki • Apple Wiki 15:33, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

I am working on a nested multi-grouped navigational box. So far, it does not work. I have played around with it and still does not work. What is the "appropriate" way to do a nested multi-group navigational box like Navigational Box with collapsible groups, Navigational Box with Subgroups, and Navigational Box with years. I soon like to have the latter third soon, but, I have to get approval from the users and administrators (and maintenance crew members as well) to do this. What is the appropriate way to do this?

 * Edit - I have tried the link that goes to the Templates wiki and it DOES NOT help me at all. Any suggestions? And the template that I am working on is at E-Wrestling Wiki. Sundogs American Law Wiki • Apple Wiki 13:49, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
