links used in multiple related articles to facilitate navigation between those articles. Editing of a navigation template is done in a central place, the template page. </p><p>There are two main varieties of navigation template: <i>navigation boxes</i> (or <i>navboxes</i>), designed to sit at the very bottom of articles, and <i>sidebars</i>, designed to sit at the side of the article text. The two are complementary and either or both may be appropriate in different situations. </p><p>The usual way to create navigation templates is to use the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Navbox" title="Template:Navbox">navbox</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> or <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Sidebar" title="Template:Sidebar">sidebar</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> master templates. This simplifies the process of creating a functional and consistent template. </p><p><b>Do not rely solely on navboxes for links to articles highly relevant to a particular article.</b> Navboxes are not displayed on the <a href="/wiki/Help:Mobile_access" title="Help:Mobile access">mobile website for Wikipedia</a>, which accounts for around half of readers. See Phabricator ticket <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124168" class="extiw" title="phabricator:T124168">T124168</a> for progress on the mobile issue. See Phabricator ticket <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124168" class="extiw" title="phabricator:T124168">T124168</a> for work on making navboxes' appearance better on mobile. </p><p>Navboxes are categorized under <a href="/wiki/Category:Navigational_boxes" title="Category:Navigational boxes">Category:Navigational boxes</a>.
