FamilySearch Wiki:Navboxes

A navigational templates or navboxes can be used to display a group of links to related articles at the bottom of an article. This article sets out some guidelines for creating navboxes. Help about using them can be found in the article Help:Navboxes.

Following discussions in community meetings and in a forum thread the guidelines below have been suggested.

Principles

 * Navboxes should be kept as short in space terms as possible. This will help in setting the navbox as an appendix to an article and not over shadow it.
 * Using Font size 85% is encouraged for the text and links within the navbox
 * The style of navbox used will depend on the number of links. No one style is favoured over another, contributors should use the style that is most appropriate.
