This template is used on approximately 3,600 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template is used to navigate through a sequence of articles, allowing an article of a series to link to the article before it and the one after it.
Usage
Use as follows
((Sequence| prev =| list =| curr =| next =))
Parameters
|prev= - The previous page in the series, can be wiki-linked. Optional.
|list= - The previous page in the series, can be wiki-linked. Required.
|curr= - The current page in the series. Optional.
|next= - The next page in the series, can be wiki-linked. Optional.
Examples
Example 1
((Sequence| prev =[[Timeline of United States history (1860–1899)|1860–1899]]| list =[[History of the United States]]| curr = 1900–1929
| next =[[Timeline of United States history (1930–1949)|1930–1949]]))
DO NOT use this template for the purpose of depicting succession, for example in biographies of officeholders. Instead of
((Sequence| list =[[Minister of Defence]]| curr = 1940–1945
| next =[[Clement Attlee]]))((Sequence| prev =[[Neville Chamberlain]]| list =[[Conservative Party (UK)|Leader of the British Conservative Party]]| curr = 1940–1955
| next =[[Anthony Eden|Sir Anthony Eden]]))
use
((Start box))((S-new))((S-ttl|title=[[Secretary of State for Defence|Minister of Defence]]|years=1940–1945))((S-aft|after=[[Clement Attlee]]))((S-bef|before=[[Neville Chamberlain]]))((S-ttl|title=[[Leader of the Conservative Party (UK)|Leader of the Conservative Party]]|years=1940–1955))((S-aft|after=[[Anthony Eden]]))((End box))
This template may still be useful for other sequences, especially simple ordered lists of articles without associated spans of times.
