Use this template to display a navigation sidebar for the series articles about the periodic table of elements. It includes two parameters, |expanded= and |image=.

Parameter |expanded= controls the collapsible lists. By default, all lists are initially collapsed.

Use |expanded=all or |1=all to expand all lists:

((Sidebar periodic table |expanded=all)) or ((Sidebar periodic table |all))

Use |expanded=list-name or |1=list-name} to expand a particular list:

((Sidebar periodic table |expanded=list-name)) or ((Sidebar periodic table |list-name))

where list-name is one of:

forms • history • structure • metalicity • othersets • lists • elements • data

Parameter |image= controls the template image. By default, no image is displayed.

Use |image=yes or |2=yes to display the standard image [[File:Periodic table (polyatomic).svg]]:

((Sidebar periodic table |image=yes)) or ((Sidebar periodic table | |yes))

Use |image=file-name or |2=file-name to display an alternate image [[File:file-name]]:

((Sidebar periodic table |image=file-name)) or ((Sidebar periodic table | |file-name))

Periodic table templates and files

((Navbox periodic table)) ((Sidebar periodic table))

Column counts are columns only that contain elements. "Compact cells" denote cells with element symbol only, have navbox style and the table fits basic wiki page width (1024×768). "Detailed cells" have more data, and may cause page width excess (scroll bar added). "Extended" periodic tables are about theoretical periods 8 and higher (element 119 and higher).

Table forms

Standard	18 columns: ((Basic)) image:Periodic table 32 columns: ((Micro cells (box))) ((bare)) ((Compact))
Extended	Standard ((Extended, 32 columns, navbox)) by Aufbau ((50 columns, period 8)) ((50 columns, compact))
Alternative structure	Left step by Janet: ((Left step (with shell filling sequence)))
