}}{{End tab}} is optional. It makes a "Next page:" button to go to the next tab. If {{Start tab}} has |frame = yes then either {{End tab}} or </div></div> is required to close the frame.
Parameters
- General
tab-n- The name of the tab, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.
link-n- The tab link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.
image-n- Name of optional image (set to 20px) to place next to tab title number n.
rounding- Add rounding effect to edges of tab boxes.
border- Border style.
off tab color- Color of the currently unselected tabs.
on tab color- Color of the currently selected tab.
tab spacing percent- Override the width between the tabs.
tab font-size- Override the font size of the text in the tab.
tab alignment- Override alignment of tab's title (left/center/right).
nowrap- Prevent long names from wrapping on each tab.
frame- Set to
yesto add a page frame underneath the tabs. This parameter does nothing in talk namespaces. This can be closed by adding</div></div>or{{End tab}}to the end of the page, or wherever else you want the frame to close. This option is generally not recommended, as it breaks VisualEditor and the reply tool. frame color- Background color for frame. Default is on tab color.
no margin- Set to
yesto disable the margin in between the tabs.
- Freeform
freeform-n- Set
freeform-n = yesto allow for arbitrary code in that tab'stab-nentry rather than just being plain text and a link. See below. When using the freeform attribute, the link attribute remains empty; for example:
|freeform-1 = yes
|tab-1 = [http://www.nytimes.com/ ''The New York Times'']
|link-1 =
|image-1 =This example below is how it would be used for internal pages or subpages for sandboxes, talk page archives, and other pages.
| freeform-2 = yes
| tab-2 = Sandbox ([[User:Example/Sandbox/1|1]] {{dot}} [[User:Example/Sandbox/2|2]] {{dot}} [[User:Example/Sandbox/3|3]])tab-n- The name of the tab, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.
link-n- The tab link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.
link2-n- The tab 2nd link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using
freeform-n) link3-n- The tab 3rd link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using
freeform-n) link4-n- The tab 4th link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using
freeform-n) link5-n- The tab 5th link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using
freeform-n)
- The maximum number of available tabs is 20.
- To use the next page feature, end the page with the {{End tab}} template.
Each tab needs a link attribute with the title of the page it refers to, and a tab attribute with a label for the tab. If the current page title matches a link then that tab will be styled differently. The freeform attribute can be used with any tab (for instance |freeform-2=yes to allow for a freeform label with multiple internal and external links if desired; otherwise, the text in tab is used as a wikilink to the page specified by link.
- Special use
preums- Internally used only on Template:Page tabs
