This template allows a help-related [[Wikipedia:Navigation template|navigation template]] to be set up relatively quickly by supplying it with one or more lists of links.

== Usual syntax ==

<pre style="overflow:auto;">
{{Helpbox
| name    =  <!-- or: | templatename = -->
| title   =  <!-- or, if templatename used: | name = -->

| group1  = 
| list1   = 

| group2  = 
| list2   = 

<!-- etc, to: -->

| group20 = 
| list20  = 

}}
</pre>

== Parameters ==

===Required===
:; ''title'' &nbsp;{{nobold|(or, if ''templatename'' used (see below),}} ''name''{{nobold|)}}
:: The template's title, centered at the top of the template.
: '''''list<sub>n</sub>'''''
:: (i.e. ''list1'', ''list2'', etc.) The body of the template, usually a list of links. Format is inline, although the text can be entered on separate lines if the entire list is enclosed within {{tag|div}}.  At least one ''list'' parameter is required. Each ''list<sub>n</sub>'' may be preceded by a corresponding ''group<sub>n</sub>'' parameter, if provided (see below). There is a limit of 20 lists/groups in a template.

===Optional===
:; ''group<sub>n</sub>''
:: (i.e. ''group1'', ''group2'', etc.) If specified, text appears in a header displayed above ''list<sub>n</sub>''.
:; first unnamed parameter
:: Inline [[Wikipedia:CSS]] for the template.
:; ''name'' &nbsp;{{nobold|(or, if ''name'' used as above,}} ''templatename''{{nobold|)}}
:: The template's pagename, activating the inclusion of the {{smaller|V•T•E}} links in its bottom righthand corner. [[Template:Helpbox]]'s pagename, for example, is "Helpbox".
