Purpose
Creates a list of nine links to year spanning articles (such as sporting seasons), centered on a specified year (e.g. that of the current article).
Usage
{{Season navbox|centre year|title=Title|prefix=Link prefix_|suffix=_link suffix}}
Note the use of underscores ("_") to force spaces.
e.g.
{{Season navbox|1997|title=Hurricane seasons|suffix=_hurricane season}}
gives
With links [[1993-94 hurricane season|1993-94]] etc.
As a nested template
This may be used to create a template for a specific series of articles, as per Template:English football seasons:
{{Season navbox|{{{1|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}}|title=Seasons in English football|suffix=_in English football}}
as the title and prefix/suffix are invariant, so the only parameter required is the year.
Collapsible
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse
, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state=
parameter may be used:
{{Season navbox|state=collapsed}}
will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{Season navbox|state=expanded}}
will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
