Help:Wiki University Wikitext--Navboxes

What is a navbox

 * Very much like sidebars, only they are usually at the bottom of a page. Here is an example from the Adair County, Missouri Genealogy page.
 * You will notice on the page that a sidebar is not used. The topic information is in the Navbox instead.  This is ok, if you think it is a better option than a sidebar.
 * On county pages, the navboxes usually have links to the other counties in the state as you see above.
 * There might be links to organizations of societies that are in the state.

How to create a navbox

 * Pretty much like a sidebar, only its width would be the full width of the page.
