This is a documentation subpage for Template:Sidebar.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is intended as a metatemplate for sidebar templates (vertically-aligned navigation (navbox) templates usually positioned on the right-hand sides of pages) in the same spirit as {{Infobox}} for infobox templates and {{Navbox}} for navbox templates.

{{Sidebar with collapsible lists}} adds collapsibility to a Sidebar's sections, i.e. the means to show or hide sections by clicking links beside their headings.

Usage

Parameters with infrequent use omitted.

{{sidebar
| name       = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| outertitle = 
| topimage   = 
| pretitle   = 
| title      = 
| image      = 

| headingstyle = 
| contentstyle = 

| heading1 = 
| content1 = 

| heading2 = 
| content2 = 

| heading3 = 
| content3 = 

...

| heading35 = 
| content35 = 

}}

Parameters

No parameters are required unless {{navbar}} links (V - T - E) are to appear at the bottom of the sidebar, in which case the |name= parameter is needed (see entry in the table immediately below).

Principal

Parameter Explanation
|name= The sidebar's name, i.e., the name following "Template:" in the page's name. Required for the {{navbar}} links at the bottom of the sidebar to function correctly, unless these are omitted (see |navbar= at the bottom of this table). It is recommended to use {{subst:PAGENAME}} for this field.
|outertitle= Use to place a title for the sidebar immediately above the sidebar.
|topimage= Use to place an image at the top of the sidebar, i.e., above any |title= included.

Full wikisyntax expected (i.e., [[File:...]]).
To add a caption below the image, use |topcaption=.

|pretitle= Use to place a line such as "Part of the X series on" before the title.
|title= Use to place a title for the sidebar at the top of the sidebar (immediately below the |topimage=, if used).
|image= Use to place an image between the |title= (if used) and first section.

As with |topimage=, full wikisyntax expected (i.e., [[File:...]]).
To add a caption below the image, use |caption=.

|headingstyle= Use to alter the default CSS styling set for section headings.

To alter the CSS styling for a specific section's heading, use |headingnstyle=, where n is the number of the section.

|contentstyle= Use to alter the default CSS styling set for section content.

To alter the CSS styling for a particular section's content, use |contentnstyle=, where n is the number of the section.

|heading1= First section's heading (if needed).
|content1= First section's content (required).
|heading2= Second section's heading (if needed).
|content2= Second section's content (if needed).
|heading3= Third section's heading (if needed).

|navbarfontstyle= (or |tnavbarfontstyle=) Use to specify the font style used by the navbar at the bottom of the sidebar (see {{navbar}} for options available).

Handling long links

{{Normalwraplink}} may be used to handle links that should wrap within the sidebar or otherwise need to be made to wrap in order to prevent the sidebar becoming too wide. Use {{Normalwraplink|longlinkname}}, where |longlinkname is the long link without its square brackets.

Use the |wraplinks=true parameter to turn link wrapping off for the whole template.
