Note: "msg:" can now be dispensed with, use e.g. {{stub}}; also, spaces in the name are now allowed, e.g. {{train topics}}.

Navigational templates are, together with template messages, the templates in the Template namespace. To learn how to create or edit them, see the latter two links.

A navigational template is often a small list for use in several related articles, without the usual disadvantages of duplication; in particular, editing is done in a central place, the template page. See also "Related topics" (navigational lists).

Since their number is ever-increasing, this page attempts to keep track of them in a structured manner. When you create a new MediaWiki element of this kind, please add it to this page.
