It's occurred to me that this parameter might be superfluous - wouldn't this template work if 'name' was taken to be {{PAGENAME}} (i.e. the equivalent of specifying "name = {{PAGENAME}}" for every Navbox template in its current form)...? Sardanaphalus ( talk) 13:10, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
PS Anyone able+willing to take any action as regards the above...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sardanaphalus ( talk • contribs) 13:18, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone else using Firefox have this problem: Sometimes (less than half of the time), the navbox will load with a "squished" or compressed appearance, where the height is only about 85-90% of what it is supposed to be. Simply reloading the page will fix it. It happens to me on multiple computers, and I only use Firefox so I do not know if other browsers do it. Has anyone else had this happen, and why does it happen? -- Old Hoss ( talk) 15:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Is it possible to give every group its own colour? Kind regards, Tirkfl ( talk) 19:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm getting a strange appearance for the {{ Principal cities of Poland}} navbox in the article Katowice. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with that particular template (the same thing happens if I substitute other navboxes), nor with anything local in the article (the problem goes away when I edit and preview just the bottom section). Looks like something elsewhere in the article is messing it up. Any ideas?-- Kotniski ( talk) 23:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi folks, apologies if this is a stupid question but I'd rather ask here than spend hours trying to figure it out by myself.
The International Criminal Court navbox is set to autocollapse. How do I override this on the main International Criminal Court article so that it expands by default in that one article? (I'd also like to set the other navboxes in the article to collapse but for some reason the International criminal law box won't collapse for me.)
Thanks in advance, Sideshow Bob Roberts 04:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I first rough version of Wikipedia:Line break handling is done. Its a how-to guide about how to handle word wraps (line breaks) at Wikipedia. Which very much applies to the dotted link lists we use in the {{ navbox}}. Take a look and discuss this new how-to guide on its talk page.
Oh, and some of you might have noticed that sometimes the link lists in navboxes misbehave, such as wrapping in the wrong place or expanding outside their cell. The how-to guide explains when and why that happens, and how to fix it. (Actually, the wrapping problems with the link lists in navboxes is one of the main reasons I wrote that guide.)

The last few edits to the doc page have made the documentation look terrible in my Internet Explorer 5.5 (on some older Windows versions we can not use newer IEs) and in Opera (I got a recent version of that one). The documentation only looks okay in Firefox now. Since you have broken it for Opera then you have probably broken it for many other browsers too, like Safari. I don't have the time to fix this but I wanted to point it out so you guys can take a look.

Currently it says the options for state are "state autocollapse, show, collapse or plain"
This is incorrect, for the collasped state use collapsed (with a 'd' on the end) but not with collapse as that don't work.

Is it possible to have multiple lists within a group? Such as Group1, List1a, List1b..etc..? Flibirigit ( talk) 18:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
|group1 = grouptitle |list1 = {{navbox group |group1 = subgroup1 |list1 = sublist1 |group1 = subgroup2 |list1 = sublist2 }} |group2 = (etc...)
I'm having problems with the backgrounds. Could someone please look at User:Flibirigit/template. Thanks. Flibirigit ( talk) 20:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

One example is {{ Logic}}. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 17:28, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I decided to make a Wiki page for the Marines and have several navboxes on many of the pages. However none of my navboxes are showing. [1] has a good example on it. Instead of showing the navboxes, it shows script. I have copied dozens of templates all relating to the navboxes I'm using, but it is still not showing. I am trying to make a wikipedia style site that is specific to the Corps but is using alreadhy created articles I've transfered over. If someone could take a look and tell me what template I am missing so I can finally get this straight. Thanks. Semper Fi. -- Firehawkv8 ( talk) 20:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I recently re-wrote the entire Navbox to fix a number of known bugs, add lots of new features, and make it CSS skinnable. The new code can be found at User:CapitalR/Navbox, with a demonstration and explanation found at User:CapitalR/NavboxTest. There is also a version without the CSS (i.e. with the styles hard-coded) that can be found at User:CapitalR/NavboxNoCSS.
Both the new Navbox design and the new CSS design are fully backward compatible with existing code (well, one minor tweak to {{ Navbox subgroup}} would have to be done, but that's easy enough).
The advantages of this design are as follows (copied from the explanation page):
The new design requires that you put the following CSS into
your personal monobook.css and then do a cache-clear refresh).

I'd like people to test out the new code, and give me comments on any bugs, additional features to be added, or suggested changes. I and hope we can get this code into the new Navbox soon. --

(Undent) Ah I see... no problem there then. Let me see if I can loose the padding when both navbar and state are plain. — Edokter • Talk • 13:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
