Vero - Wikipedia:Article series
Template:For Template:See also Template:Essay
Article series are useful for easing navigation for very broad subjects. For example, the article Israeli–Palestinian conflict contains a table that provides links to all the major issues surrounding that subject, such as Constitution of Palestine and Israel and the European Union.
An alternative to summary style
{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} If a group of articles are interrelated tightly enough, a single overview article (e.g summary article or main article) can be created in a manner described in Wikipedia:Summary style guideline. Such hierarchical style should be preferred over the one described here.
Article series boxes
Template:See also Navigation between articles in a series is achieved with templates known as article series boxes. Use the same template for all articles in the series – there is no need to maintain separate boxes on each page.
A vertical series box
{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} Template:United States history (sidebar)
This example has been inserted here using the following syntax: Template:Tl
The contents can be edited by using the following link: Template:History of the United States
You can create similar boxes in a similar way.
- REDIRECT Template:Clear
Template:Redirect category shell
Source of the template
The page Template:History of the United States might contain the following (or similar) wiki markup: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> Template:Sidebar with collapsible lists Template:Documentation
</syntaxhighlight>
Footer boxes
{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} Footer navigational boxes (called navboxes) may contain links about a broader topic. For example, the footer of The Netherlands shows all countries of the European Union – as The Netherlands is a member state. These boxes are created by inserting the template Template:Tl and adding the relevant information.
Blended series tables
| This article is part of the History of France series. |
| Gaul |
| Franks |
| France in the Middle Ages |
| Valois Dynasty |
| Bourbon Dynasty |
| French Revolution |
| First French Empire |
| French Restoration |
| Second Republic |
| Second French Empire |
| Third Republic |

| This article is part of the History of Germany series. |
| Franks |
| Holy Roman Empire |

It is also possible to place an article in two different series. For example, Franks is part of both the History of France and History of Germany series. But you should not join the two boxes as pictured. This syntax is deprecated, because it does not lend itself to using identical templates, and thus is highly fragile.
