This template allows for the quick creation of a navigational template for any group of articles which contains the names of the Districts of Kerala and Municipal corporations of Kerala. It uses {{Navbox}} to create the navigation box.

Blank syntax

{{Kerala topic
<!--passed through to Template:Navbox-->
|name       =
|state      = 
|title      = 
|titlestyle =
|bodystyle  =

Parameters

Mandatory

name: Mandatory when creating a new template. You can enter {{subst:PAGENAME}} for this value as a shortcut.

One of the following combinations is needed to create the links:

prefix: Places text before the district or city name.

suffix: Places text after the district or city name.

prefix and suffix: Places text before and after the district or city name.

Note: The title in this example should be replaced by using the title parameter described below.

Optional

state: A navbox with autocollapse will start out collapsed if there are two or more tables on the same page that use collapsible. If set to collapsed, the navbox will always start out in a collapsed state. If set to blank or anything other than autocollapse or collapsed, the navbox will always start out in an expanded state.; Default is: autocollapse.

title: Text that appears centered in the titlebar (the top bar). This is optional because the use of either prefix, suffix or both will automatically generate a title if the title parameter is not supplied. This parameter is not automatically wiki-linked.

navbar*: Defaults to Tnavbar. If set to plain, the v • d • e links on the left side of the titlebar will not be displayed, and padding will be automatically used to keep the title centered. Use off to remove the v • d • e links, but not apply padding (this is for advanced use only; the "plain" option should suffice for most applications where a navbar is not desired). Note that it is highly recommended that one does not hide the navbar, in order to make it easier for users to edit the template, and to keep a standard style across pages.

Excluding group

exclude-dis: Set to any value this excludes display of the group named Districts.

exclude-cor: Set to any value this excludes display of the group named Municipal Corporations.

Adding groups and lists

Some templates may require a list of links not already included in the template. These can be specified as follows:

list3: Text or a list of links that is displayed below the state and territory links.

group3: Header text displayed in cell to left of text specified in list5.

above: A full-width cell (no group header) displayed above the template's body (between the title and Kerala links).
