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.<br />
<br />
== Usual syntax ==<br />
<br />
<pre style="overflow:auto;"><br />
{{Helpbox<br />
| name = <!-- or: | templatename = --><br />
| title = <!-- or, if templatename used: | name = --><br />
<br />
| group1 = <br />
| list1 = <br />
<br />
| group2 = <br />
| list2 = <br />
<br />
<!-- etc, to: --><br />
<br />
| group20 = <br />
| list20 = <br />
<br />
}}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />

: '''''list<sub>n</sub>'''''<br />
