Navigational templates are, together with template messages, the templates in the Template namespace. To learn how to create or edit them, see the latter two links, or use Template:Navbox generic.

A navigational template is often a small list for use in several related articles, without the usual disadvantages of duplication; in particular, editing is done in a central place, the template page. See also "Related topics" (navigational lists).

Since their number is ever-increasing, this page attempts to keep track of them in a structured manner. When you create a new MediaWiki element of this kind, please add it to this page. Templates ought to be categorized as well: see Category:Navigational templates.

For succession in office, including peerages, consider Template:Tl unless the office in question clearly needs its own template. Variant templates for persons who have held several notable offices are discussed on its talk page.
