{{Infobox Story/doc}} is the only infobox you'll ever need for any type of story. It takes all variables from all different types of story, regardless of medium or subject matter. If it's a story, just use this template.
Usage
Because this template can be adapted to several different types of story, you'll need to click one of the links below to see how to use it.
Standalone stories
In a few exceptional cases, stories are completely standalone. Video games, for instance, are often released in isolation. The very first Doctor Who prose story, Doctor Who and the Invasion from Space wasn't a part of any series, nor was the short story, Doctor Who and the Daleks.
If you encounter such a story, and you want to make the navigation bar completely disappear, just enter the following variable:
| nav = 0
Navigation between stories has been improved significantly with this template. It now allows for a more flexible approach. Instead of just one "navigational axis" — release order — you can now navigate by an additional two user-defined navigational axes, as well as by production order.
Here are the new variables, which can be used with any story type:
|series = This is the name of the primary navigational axis. It almost always should be linked to a page, most of which are found in Category:Overviews. The unnumbered navigational variables should always be concerned with broadcast/release order of stories. |prev = previous story of {{{series}}} released. If there isn't one, this variable must be set tonone. |next = previous story of {{{series}}} released. If there isn't one, this variable must be set tonone. |series2 =The name of the second navigational axis. Often |prev2 = |next2 = |series3 = |prev3 = |next3 = |made prev = |made next = </prev> The un-numbered series/prev/next variables should already be in place on all articles on the wiki. This should always be set to the primary navigational axis, release/broadcast order. It is the presence of a value at {{{prev}}} that In order for the series label to appear, there must be a value at the prev variable|series = should be set to |prev = must be present for there to be a navigation section at all |next = |series2 = |prev2 = |next2 = |series3 = |prev3 = |next3 = |made prev = |made next = </prev>
