Usage[change source]

Format:   {{Year nav topic|year#|subject}}
Format:   {{Year nav topic|year#|subject|subj2}}
Format:   {{Year nav topic|1=year#|2=subject|3=subj2}}
Format:   {{Year nav topic|year#|subj1|subj2|subj3|subj4}}

Takes multiple parameters: the year# (year 101 or higher), followed by the main subject (such as: music), followed by optional related subjects, separated by vertical bars:

  • The year# becomes the bolded center of the 20-year range for the main subject, and any (optional) related subjects are displayed with a 6-year selection range.
  • For the first subject "xxx" there should be an article (or redirection) using the name "List_of_years_in_xxx" (which is the top line displayed in the navigation-box).
  • For the first subject "xxx" there should be a specific all-years navigation article using the name "Table_of_years_in_xxx" (the "table" link displayed in box), which has a compressed table linking all year/decade articles about the subject (such as: "Table of years in film").
  • The box width expands 5%-15% for optional subjects, widening to fit longer names (such as "archaeology" or "video gaming").
