Usage
Please remove the parameters that are left blank.

Mandatory

 * name
 * The name of the template, which is needed for the "v· d· e" ("view· discuss· edit") links to work properly on all pages where the template is used. You can enter  for this value as a shortcut.


 * title
 * Text that appears centered in the top row of the table. It is usually the template's topic, i.e. a succinct description of the body contents. This should be a single line, but if a second line is needed, use  to ensure proper centering.


 * listn
 * (i.e. list1, list2, etc.) The body of the template, usually a list of links. Format is inline, although the text can be entered on separate lines if the entire list is enclosed within .  At least one list parameter is required; each additional list is displayed in a separate row of the table. Each listn may be preceded by a corresponding groupn parameter, if provided (see below).


 * background
 * Use one of the seven categories from Template:Infobox musical artist.

Cells

 * groupn
 * (i.e. group1, group2, etc.) If specified, text appears in a cell displayed to the left of listn. Use these fields to provide label a for listn, such as "Studio albums", "Films", "Former members", etc.


 * above
 * A full-width cell displayed between the titlebar and first group/list, i.e. above the template's body (groups, lists and image). In a template without an image, above behaves in the same way as the list1 parameter without the group1 parameter.


 * below
 * A full-width cell displayed below the template's body (groups, lists and image).

Other

 * state
 * Defaults to . If set to , the navbox will always start out in a collapsed state. If set to blank or anything other than   or  , the navbox will always start out in an expanded state. A navbox with   will start out collapsed if there are two or more tables on the same page that use collapsible. For the technically minded, see MediaWiki:Common.js.


 * navbar
 * Defaults to . If set to , the  links on the left side of the titlebar will not be displayed.

Examples
Navbox is used to build this template. Navbox uses the Nowraplinks CSS class thus links do not line break in this template. These examples then also uses · and (where needed) to prevent the names breaking across. If there are non-linked portions of text that need to be controlled for wrapping use the Nowrap begin + ·wrap + Nowrap end templates. Deprecated; use the  class. If a small space between groups is desired leave an empty line between them.
