This template allows a {{w|WP:NAV|navigational template}} to be set up relatively quickly by supplying it with one or more lists of links.
'''Template:Navbox''' is intended as a meta-template (a template used to construct other templates), used to build {{w|WP:NAV|navigational templates}}. This can be used directly, or by using its corresponding module, [[Module:Navbox]].

: The title text.
; <code>Header Row</code> (optional) and <code>Footer Row</code> (optional)
: Text for a navbox's header and footer rows, respectively.
; <code>Header ''N''</code> (recommended) and <code>Data ''N''</code> (recommended)
: Text for a row's header cell and data cell. A row's header cell may be omitted for simple navboxes. Up to 30 rows are supported using the template.
