Template:SubpageNav

SubpageNav

A compact, minimal horizontal navigation bar. Works on root pages and any depth of subpage. Auto-populates all subpages with full dropdown support for nested paths.

Basic Usage

Drop this at the top of any project or tutorial page:

{{SubpageNav}}

Works on the root page and any subpage depth. On Example Project/About/More Details the nav correctly shows Example Project as the brand and lists all of its subpages.

With an Icon

{{SubpageNav|icon=emotes-face-smile-big}}

Manual List

Pass a bulleted wikitext list as the first parameter. Nesting with ** creates dropdown menus:

{{SubpageNav|
* [[My Project/Overview|Overview]]
** [[My Project/Overview/Details|Details]]
* [[My Project/Gallery|Gallery]]
}}
