I am experimenting with templates and this is one of the templates I don't understand how to use. Can someone help me out? The template is Template:Navbar. The fields are below:

mini

style

plain

fontstyle

text

brackets

noedit

1

I only know that putting text in "text" will make text appear, as long as there isn't any text in "mini" or "plain". Also, putting text in "noedit" causes the edit button to not exist on the template. Not having anything in "1" causes this message where a "talk" button normally is :

| talk

and with something in "1", a "talk" button appears instead. Also, when there is something in "1", both "talk" and "view" buttons are red links; while when there is nothing in "1", not only is "talk" not there, "view" is a blue link. When a link (page name) is in "1", I get the same message instead of "talk" and instead of "view" I get this message:

view

I don't understand much else. Can someone help me out?
