Usage

Template:NavBox2 is the box's base. Any value in show expands the box automatically upon page load. Replace {{{1}}} with any number and combination of Template:NavBox2/row, Template:NavBox2/head and Template:NavBox2/empty. template is the page name of the template without the namespace.
{{NavBox2
|template=
|bgcolor=
|fgcolor=
|name=
|show=
|{{{1}}}
}}
Template:NavBox2/head creates area with a dark background colour inside Template:NavBox2 or Template:NavBox2. Enter the text to be displayed in {{{1}}}.
{{NavBox2/head
|bgcolor=
|fgcolor=
|{{{1}}}
}}
Template:NavBox2/empty creates area with a light background colour inside Template:NavBox2 or Template:NavBox2. Enter the text to be displayed in its single field.
{{NavBox2/empty
|bgcolor=
|fgcolor=
|{{{1}}}
}}
Template:NavBox2/row generates a two-column row. Replace field {{{1}}} with the row's title, which is displayed in the left column. Field {{{2}}} must be some combination of Template:NavBox2/row, Template:NavBox2/head and Template:NavBox2/empty.
{{NavBox2/row
|{{{1}}}
|{{{2}}}
}}
