Template:Mosnav/doc

{{mosnav}} is a template that puts a navigation strip, much like the one used for forum threads, at the top of a page. It should be used only on pages of the manual of style; hence: mosnav.

Usage

To use, follow this simple pattern:

{{mosnav|p|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|...}}

where p is the parent chapter for all the other pages listed at 1, 2, 3 ... 10. All are optional, and if you type {{mosnav}} alone, it sill simply put the current page in the nav bar like so:

Catshead → Fat Boy → Sharkey (Smart Bombs) → Senior coder → Agents' Briefing Room → Emorgan → Team 9 (Kerblam!) → Little Man → Whizz Bang → Night mode → Mère de Ménage → Naval officer → Donald Simpson → Taron (The Dream) → Fresta → Big Brother (Smart Bombs) → St Edmunds Pippin → Skrak (language) → Anarray → Empirica → Frashel → Besiddian → Vingten → Lodgemore Nonpareil → Hecten City → Du → Hortos Prime → Mannington's Pearman → Glastra → Fas → Hap → Vac → Nal → 1634 → Sentimenous Virgo → Persistence → Park Street → Taleria → Receptor code → Russell Maggs → Tree-rat → Alpha Wastes → Rotus Nebula → Bio-tracking → Continuum warp → Magranomic trigger → Maine Coon → Geophysicist → Toplex Sanitation → TARDIS serial number → Observation Room → Scout-Ship Commander → Eckle → ACRS → Major-general → Bob Blasdall → Electronic clipboard → Vigal Minor → Ian Grant → Tempest (ship) → Cleveland Avenue → Red Velvet → Kerb!am Man trigger device → Sol (I Scream) → Southern Iraq → Ralph (Sock Pig) → Third City → Bainbridge Street → Field separator → Lucas Kovacs → Ocean planet → Bel Terra → Paul Laing → Second City → Semane → Conceptor geometry relay → Golbos System → The Party (disambiguation) → Fleishman Cold Fusion Engine → Charles Boyle → Richard Walter → CON → Sharon Robbins → Santa Maria (disambiguation) → Ashmead's Kernel → Greg Walters → Frume → Dodo Chaplet's funeral → Tunguska (disambiguation) → DOC → Stephen Cartwright → Cyber-linguist → POEM → Warren Pearson → Monoceretos → Morok (planet) → UK 2 → Steve Steen → Devonshire Quarrenden → Mark Simmons → Andor (disambiguation) → Chalice of Blood → Thaon 5 → Anstaar → Cubit (currency) → BOSS (shop) → Calvary Baptist Trojans → Ben Nott → Shredox → 7th century → Frances Whitaker → Veerinder Mann → Implicate theory → Full Moon (Night of the Whisper) → Anjer → Amazol → Babette → Caballan → Kate Lloyd → Catherine Anderson → Dan Berry → Riftet Insurance → Tyack's Fittings → Additional VFX → Carrot fudge → Sector 52 → Yamaha → Dentsu → Can → Tangier Spiral → Battrul → Saravin → Dan Tostevin → Innovations Unlimited → W1U 65P → Product scanner → Maintenance man → Sherva → Ribston Pippin → Hex (curse) → Flesh tone → Dimetos City → SKI8 TKY → New Mumbai → Shergar Sahcahgar → Matt Michael → Epsilon Volantis → Head Design → Brew Dog → Ten Percent People-Powered Company → Roboanalyst → Temple of Beginning → Recyk → Thafa → Guy Daniels → New Renberg → Drum Control → Quique → Duronite → Christopher Columbus (city) → Wotch → Golden Delicious → Franz (Future Legend) → Clay Foundation → Vesperus series → Trintillium → Anmart → V15 system → 15-10 Barric Fields → Medusia → Supreme Lord → Brighton88 → Nano-dentistry → Nan Gar → Skywarden → Fifth Spark of Delta B → Skaro (Earth) → Paxas → Graeme Fowler → Dominic Parry → K5000 → Amazastia → Funland → Alys system → Flower merchant → Bandit → Transmat terminal → Princessipality of Yevnon → SPQR → Jay Dyer → Martin Wiggins → Jen Evans → Hayley Cox → Matterdom → Sorvix prince → Vake Empire → Kolothos → Hopthen → Corpse Gipe → Dinasis → Bagoss → Electromitosis → New Times Square → Wrekka → Ecotopic scanner → Honesty → Rag → Brite White → Soft-light disguise → BBC London → Philip MacDonald → TWD → Tony Rudlin → Martin Eden → Kloeden → Jaggrabell → Oskerion → Electra (moon) → Phyllosia → Bugbeast → 020 1108 70007 → Queens Vaults → Piran → Gry → Earl of Sandwich → Shnork → Spotel → Vernon Flood → Andrew Parslow → Mark Blythe → Ganesh system → Kubthukian → Lunar Base → Advent → Proxy Wars → Grey Sizer → Fang → Head model maker → Packing department → Vlog → Earth Defender → Gary Knight → Elizabeth Jackson → Jane Walker → Russell Cook → Looloo → Ben Marion → Dave Owens → Lee Cummings → OCEAN FLOOR → Aaster → Galactic minute → Energy displacer → Natalie Barnes → Haiduk → Galyar → Eta Cassiopeia system → Ember (star) → Mich Brown → 0207 946 0055 → E9 9FZ → Psychotronic generator → Cyber-hunter → Salutation → Succuba → Blayling system → Aquarian ivory → Jack Jameson → Maginot → Jathros → Shaila Bux → Besseme → Heath Williams → Paragrol → New Forest District Council → Crimson Revenants → Marcio Menys → Scott Miller → Simon Raisey → Cancri (planet) → Gigga-kill laser → Memetic Archive → Packing slip → Speech circuit → N4 5DB → TARDIS toilet → The Argentines → Exabin Seven → Surgery → Post-op → Stomach sac → Gabriel P.

This, however, is not very helpful, because it allows you to navigate only back to the page Tardis:Manual of style.

The variable c can and should be set to a name for the chapter, so that all pages in that chapter can be organised under a single category. The resulting category would then go into Category:Manual of style.

Note that the namespace Tardis: is already assumed. All you need is the page name, not the full page name. Also, see how the current page name, Mosnav, is put into the navigation bar by default. Obviously, if you were to put this particular example on Tardis:Don't over-wikify, it would make a little more sense.

Thanks

This template owes some debt to memoryalpha:template:mos nav — though not quite so much as the name suggests. This is basically just an adaptation of the basic {{forumheader}} template which is a default part of the Wikia MediaWiki installation.
