This template is a navigational template intended to be used to generate a scrollable navigation "bar", rather than a navigation box, in cases where there are a long list of items with a natural ordering (for example, alphabetical or numerical) that as a box would consume a large amount of vertical space in an article. Navigation bars currently do not appear in printed copies of articles.
When creating a template using this one, please add it to Category:Templates using navigation bars by adding the following code:
<noinclude>[[Category:Templates using navigation bars|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>
