{{intricate template}}

==Shortcuts==
Some examples have shortcuts which will in turn use this template.
*[[History of California]] -> {{tl|California history}}
*Sheriff's Offices -> {{tl|California Sheriff's Offices}} or {{tl|California SO}}

==Usage==
===1st parameter (''prefix'')===
The most basic usage of template is with a single unnamed parameter in the format <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>''Continent/region'' topic|''Topic'' [of/in]}}</code>, replacing ''Continent/region'' with the name of a continent or region and ''Topic'' with the name of a topic followed by "of" or "in". For example, <code><nowiki>{{Africa topic|Geography of}}</nowiki></code> generates a navigation box titled "Geography of Africa" with a list of country names linked to articles such as [[Geography of Angola]], etc.
;Code
{{tlc|California topic|Culture of}} or {{tlc|California topic|prefix{{=}}Culture of}}
;Result
{{California topic|prefix=Culture of|state=uncollapsed}}
 

===2nd parameter (''suffix'')===
The template accepts a second unnamed parameter for text to be placed after the country name. There is no space between the country name and the suffix, to allow for links to articles such as [[List of California-related topics]].
;Code
<nowiki>{{California topic|| in popular culture}}</nowiki>
;Result
{{California topic|| in popular culture|state=uncollapsed}}

== Parameters ==
===Mandatory===
; ''name''
: Mandatory when creating a new template (i.e. [[Template:Hospitals in the United States]]), otherwise the "view{{·}} talk{{·}} edit" links will connect to [[Template:United States topic]]. You can enter <code><nowiki>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> for this value as a shortcut.

''One of the following combinations is needed to create the links:''
; ''prefix''
: Text to be placed before the U.S. state name. The prefix text is always followed by a space. For example: '''<code>prefix = List of airports in</code>''' would create a title [[List of airports in the United States]] and a body containing state names linked to [[List of airports in Alabama]], [[List of airports in Alaska]], etc.
: Note: In instances when only ''prefix'' is specified, the template inserts "the" between the prefix text and "United States", creating the title [[List of airports in the United States]] instead of [[List of airports in United States]]. In the body it does the same for the [[Northern Mariana Islands]] and the [[United States Virgin Islands]].

; ''suffix''
: Places text after the U.S. state name. For example: '''<code>suffix = _National Guard</code>''' would create a title [[United States National Guard]] and a body containing state names linked to [[Alabama National Guard]], [[Arizona National Guard]], etc.
: Note: An [[underscore]] is used in place of the leading space in the suffix. This is done to allow the use of suffixes without a leading space, as in the following example. A title should be specified to avoid the underscore appearing in the title.

; ''prefix'' {{nobold|and}} ''suffix''
: Places text before and after the U.S. state name. For example: '''<code>prefix = Index of</code>''' and '''<code>suffix = -related articles</code>''' would create a title [[Index of United States-related articles]] and a body containing state names linked to [[Index of Alabama-related articles]], [[Index of Alaska-related articles]], etc.

===Optional===
; ''state''
: A navbox with <code>autocollapse</code> will start out collapsed if there are two or more tables on the same page that use <kbd>collapsible</kbd>. If set to <code>collapsed</code>, the navbox will always start out in a collapsed state. If set to blank or anything other than <code>autocollapse</code> or <code>collapsed</code>, the navbox will always start out in an expanded state.
: Default is: <code>autocollapse</code>.

; ''title''
: Text that appears centered in the titlebar (the top bar). This is optional because the use of either ''prefix'', ''suffix'' or both will automatically generate a title if the ''title'' parameter is not supplied. This parameter is not automatically [[wikitext|wiki-link]]ed. For example: <code><nowiki>title = [[List of rivers of the United States|Rivers in the United States]]</nowiki></code> generates the title '''[[List of rivers of the United States|Rivers in the United States]]'''.

====Excluding groups====
In some instances the District of Columbia, U.S. Territories (Insular Areas) or U.S. Minor Outlying Islands may not be relevant to or have their own articles on a particular topic. To disable their inclusion in the template and avoid unnecessary [[Wikipedia:Red link|red link]]s, add any or all of the following parameters:

; ''exclude-regions''
: Set to any value this excludes display of the group named "Regions" which links to [[San Fernando Valley]], etc.

; ''exclude-counties''
: Set to any value this excludes display of the group named "Counties" which links to [[Los Angeles County, California]], [[Sacramento County, California]], etc.

; ''exclude-cities''
: Set to any value this excludes display of the group named "Cities and towns" which links to various cities and towns.

; ''exclude-suffix''
: Set to any value this excludes the use of ", California" in links.

====Adding groups and lists====
Some templates may require a list of links not already included in the template. These can be specified as follows:

; ''above''
: A full-width cell (no group header) displayed ''above'' the template's body (between the title and U.S. state links).

; ''list1''
: Text or a list of links that is displayed above the region, county, and city links, but below the ''above'' section.

; ''group1''
: Header text displayed in cell to left of text specified in ''list1''.

; ''list5''
: Text or a list of links that is displayed below the region, county, and city links, but above the ''below'' section.

; ''group5''
: Header text displayed in cell to left of text specified in ''list5''.

; ''below''
: A full-width cell (no group header) displayed ''below'' the template's body.

====Styles====
; ''titlestyle''
: Specifies [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] values to apply to the title. One use of this is to set the background color of the title:
:: <code>titlestyle = background: #0000FF;</code>
:: <code>titlestyle = background: blue;</code>
:Default is: <code>background: #ccccff;</code>

; ''bodystyle''
: Specifies CSS values to apply to the entire template. This will not override the following {{tl|Navbox}} default styles:
:: <code>abovestyle = background:#ddddff;</code>
:: <code>belowstyle = background:#ddddff;</code>
:: <code>groupstyle = background:#ddddff; text-align:right; white-space:nowrap;</code>
:: <code>liststyle = width:100%; font-size:95%;</code>

; ''abovestyle''
; ''belowstyle''
: Specifies CSS values to apply to the cell specified via the ''above'' and ''below'' parameters. For instance:
:: <code>belowstyle = border-top: #ccccff 1px solid;</code>
:Default is: <code>background: #ddddff;</code>

; ''groupstyle''
: Specifies CSS values to apply to the cells specified via the ''groupn'' cells. This option overrides any styles that are applied to the entire table. Example:
:: <code>groupstyle = background:#6AFB92; vertical-align:top;</code>
:Default is: <code>background: #ddddff; text-align:right; white-space:nowrap;</code>

; ''liststyle''
: Specifies CSS values to apply to the cells specified via the ''listn'' cells. This option overrides any styles that are applied to the entire table. Examples:
:: <code>liststyle = padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;</code>
:Default is: <code>width:100%; font-size:95%;</code>
