Main	Documentation	Usage

Generates multiple Navbox group/list rows from a semicolon separated group list. Supports normal custom lists and dynamically generated Navbox DPL lists.

Do not use as standalone template, insert in a {{Navbox}} using automatic_groups parameter.

Syntax

{{Navbox Automatic Groups
|base = Base Group
|grous = Semicolon separated List
|list = plain text
|list_type = dpl
}}

• base : The base group used by [nogroup]. Required when [nogroup] is present.
• groups : A semicolon-seFted list of groups to generate. Use [nogroup] to create a list row without a group label. The [nogroup] entry uses base as its group value.
• list_type : Sets the type of list to generate. When set to dpl, the module constructs and expands a {{Navbox DPL}} call using the remaining parameters. If omitted or set to another value, list is used instead.
• list : The default content for each generated list. In normal mode, %%group%% is replaced with the current group name.
  • list_<group> : Overrides list for a specific group. The group name is matched case-insensitively. For [nogroup], use list_nogroup.
• category : In dpl mode, the DPL category to query. %%group%% is replaced with the current group name.
• uses : In dpl mode, passed to {{Navbox DPL}} as the uses parameter.
• format : In dpl mode, passed to {{Navbox DPL}} as the format parameter.
• start : The number of the first generated Navbox row. Defaults to 1.

DPL parameters

When list_type is used, parameters other than groups, base, list, list_type, start, and list_<group> overrides are passed to {{Navbox DPL}}. This allows other {{Navbox DPL}} parameters to be used without additional support in this module.

The %%group%% placeholder can be used in DPL parameters and is replaced with the current group name.

For [nogroup], the module automatically adds not1, not2, etc. for all named groups, so those exclusions do not need to be specified manually.
