This template is a metatemplate for the creation of sidebar templates, i.e. boxes that are vertically-aligned navigation templates. Sidebars, like infoboxes, are usually positioned on the right-hand side of a page.

{{Sidebar with collapsible lists}} is a version of {{Sidebar}} that adds collapsibility to its sections, i.e. the means to show or hide sections by clicking links beside their headings.

Template:Navbox visibility

Note that MOS:LEAD discourages the placement of sidebars in the lead section of articles.

Usage

Template:Generic template demo 

{{Sidebar
| name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| class =            
| wraplinks =        <!-- "true" otherwise (default:) omit -->
| float =
| templatestyles = 
| child templatestyles = 
| grandchild templatestyles = 

| outertitleclass = 
| outertitle = 

| topimageclass = 
| topimage = 
| topcaption = 

| pretitleclass = 
| pretitle = 

| titleclass = 
| title = 

| imageclass = 
| image = 
| caption = 

| headingclass = 
| contentclass = 

| aboveclass = 
| above = 

| heading1 = 
| heading1class = 
| content1 = 
| content1class = 

| heading2 = 
| heading2class = 
| content2 = 
| content2class = 

| heading3 = 
| heading3class = 
| content3 = 
| content3class = 

<!-- (omitting infinite heading/content parameters) -->

| belowclass = 
| below = 
| navbar = 

}}

Note that Template:Section link discourages the placement of sidebars in the lead section of articles, though they may be included on a case-by-case basis.

Parameters

Template:Anchor No parameters are mandatory. If {{navbar}} links are to function correctly (unless their appearance is suppressed; see the navbar parameter below), the parameter name needs to be set (to the name of the sidebar's page). (This does not apply if the Lua module that produces Template:Tlf, Module:Sidebar, is being used directly.)

Parameter Explanation
Template:Para Same as the Template:Para offered by {{Navbox}}.
Template:Para The sidebar's name, i.e. the name following "Template:" in the title shown at the top of the sidebar's page.
Required if the Template:Small {{navbar}} links at the bottom of the sidebar are to function correctly, unless their appearance is suppressed (see the navbar parameter below) or Template:Tlf is not being used as a wrapper for Module:Sidebar. When Template:Tlf is used as a wrapper, setting Template:Para is recommended.
Template:Para Accepts the values none and left. The former aligns the box left without floating and the latter with floating behavior. The default float is right and does not need specifying. Prefer this parameter (and passing it to any using templates such as with {{Helpbox}}) to specifying your own floats in TemplateStyles.
Template:Para Use to place a title for the sidebar immediately above the sidebar.
Template:Para Use to place an image at the top of the sidebar, i.e. above Template:Para (if used). Full wiki syntax is expected (i.e. [[File:...]]).
To add a caption below the image, use Template:Para.
Template:Para Use to place a line such as "Part of the X series on" before the title.
Template:Para Use to place a title for the sidebar at the top of the sidebar. (If Template:Para is used, it will appear immediately below it).
Template:Para Use to place an image between the Template:Para (if used) and first section. As with Template:Para, full wiki syntax is expected (i.e. [[File:...]]).
To add a caption below the image, use Template:Para.
Template:Para
Template:Para 		The nth headingTemplate:\content. contentn is required if headingn is also to appear.
Template:Para See #TemplateStyles.

Classes can be used to make styles easier to target for TemplateStyles. Template:Para must be used for this purpose for an entire sidebar (otherwise a page with multiple sidebars may take styles intended only for one sidebar). An example for a template named "Template:Example Sidebar" might have the class Template:Para.

Template:Para and Template:Para can be used to target a specific heading or content group. This should be needed only rarely.

These classes can also be used for microformats.

Dot before a class-name can be omitted: Template:Para.

Template:Para Same as the Template:Para offered by {{Navbox}}.
(Use, for example, to add one or more portal links to the bottom of the template (shown, by default, in bold).)
Template:Para When Template:Para is specified, {{navbar}} is shown at the bottom of the sidebar. Setting Template:Para or Template:Para will suppress the Template:Navbar links showing.

TemplateStyles

Template:Further

The TemplateStyles parameters Template:Para, Template:Para, and Template:Para take the pagename of a TemplateStyles page and turn it into a TemplateStyles tag. The TemplateStyles tag is a much more powerful way to add styling to a sidebar.

Some rules of use:

  1. Always add a template-specific class in Template:Para so that the styles added to one sidebar will not "leak" into another sidebar. For example, Template:DYK tools has Template:Para and the Template:DYK tools/styles.css page targets .dyk-tools for all of its added styling.
  2. Do not assume Template:Sidebar will continue to have a table structure (i.e., do not target table or any other table HTML in the TemplateStyles page). The table structure is soft-deprecated and will go away at some point in the future.

These tags are loaded in this order: Core templatestyles (Module:Sidebar/styles.css), templatestyles, child, and then grandchild, which can be used to 'cascade' the styles.

Template:Para
This parameter is intended for a template or module calling {{sidebar}} directly.
Template:Para
This parameter is intended for a template or module which calls a sidebar with Template:Para.
Template:Para
This parameter is intended for a template or module which calls a sidebar with Template:Para.

The canonical list of classes output with each kind of element of a sidebar (i.e. output for all Template:Para, or all cases of Template:Para) can be found in Module:Sidebar/configuration in the "class" table. The below is a non-authoritative but otherwise sufficient list for most generic styling: Template:Div col

.sidebar
The top-level sidebar class.
.sidebar-outer-title
The class associated with a Template:Para.
.sidebar-top-image
The class associated with a Template:Para.
.sidebar-top-caption
The class associated with a Template:Para.
.sidebar-pretitle
.sidebar-pretitle-with-top-image
The classes associated with a Template:Para. Only one of these will be output per sidebar, depending on whether Template:Para is present.
.sidebar-title
.sidebar-title-with-pretitle
The classes associated with a Template:Para. Only one of these will be output per sidebar, depending on whether Template:Para is present.
.sidebar-image
The class associated with a Template:Para.
.sidebar-caption
The class associated with a Template:Para.
.sidebar-above
The class associated with a Template:Para.
.sidebar-heading
The class associated with a Template:Para. Every heading will have this class.
.sidebar-content
.sidebar-content-with-subgroup
The classes associated with Template:Para. Every content group will have one of these classes, depending on whether the specific content has a subgroup.
.sidebar-below
The class associated with a Template:Para.
.sidebar-navbar
The class associated with a Template:Para.

Template:Div col end

Example TemplateStyles parameter use

For an example of a sidebar which does not need to support children templates of its own (whether because it has no children or because it wants no children): 

{{Sidebar
| title                = Child Example
| class                = sidebar-example
| templatestyles = Template:Sidebar/example/styles.css
}}

For an example of a sidebar which does have its own children and an example of one of the children (grandchild templates have a similar use): 

{{Sidebar
| title                     = {{{title|Title Child Example}}}
| class                     = sidebar-example {{{class|}}}
| templatestyles      = Template:Sidebar/example/styles.css
| child templatestyles = {{{child templatestyles|}}}
}}

{{Sidebar/child example
| title                = Title Grandchild Example
| class                = sidebar-child-example
| child templatestyles = Template:Sidebar/child example/styles.css
}}

Handling long links

{{Normalwraplink}} may be used to handle individual links that should wrap within the sidebar or otherwise need to be made to wrap, in order to prevent the sidebar from becoming too wide. Use Template:Tlx, where Template:Para is the long link without its square brackets.

Use the Template:Para parameter to enable link wrapping (disabling Template:Codett CSS class) for the whole template.

Nesting

One sidebar template can be nested (embedded) into another one by using the Template:Para parameter. This feature can be used to create a modular sidebar, or to create more well-defined and logical sections.

{{#invoke:Sidebar|sidebar}} 

{{Sidebar
| title = Top-level title
| content1 =
 {{Sidebar |child=yes
  | title = First subsection
  | heading1 = Heading 1.1
  | content1 = Content 1.1
 }}
| content2 =
 {{Sidebar |child=yes
  | title = Second subsection
  | heading1 = Heading 2.1
  | content1 = Content 2.1
 }}
| below = "below" text
}}

Note in the examples above that the child sidebar is placed in a Template:Code field, not a Template:Code field. Notice also that the section subheadings do not appear in bold if this is not explicitly specified. To obtain bold section headings, move the titles to the Template:Code field, using

{{#invoke:Sidebar|sidebar}} 

{{Sidebar
| title = Top-level title
| heading1 = First subsection
| content1 = 
 {{Sidebar |child=yes
  | heading1 = Heading 1.1
  | content1 = Content 1.1
 }}
| heading2 = Second subsection
| content2 = 
 {{Sidebar |child=yes
  | heading1 = Heading 2.1
  | content1 = Content 2.1
 }}
| below = "below" text
}}

Deprecated parameters

The following parameters are deprecated in favor of TemplateStyles and templates/modules using them are categorized into Category:Sidebars with styles needing conversion. The category page has further conversion information.

A specific real conversion example is Template:DYK tools where the styles were moved to Template:DYK tools/styles.css.
