Wikipedia:Article series

Article series are useful for easing navigation for very broad subjects. For example, the article Israeli–Palestinian conflict contains a table that provides links to all the major issues surrounding that subject, such as Constitution of Palestine and Israel and the European Union.

An alternative to summary style
If a group of articles are interrelated tightly enough, a single overview article (a.k.a. summary article or main article) can be created in a manner described in Summary style guideline. Such hierarchical style should be preferred over the one described here.

Article series boxes
Navigation between articles in a series is achieved with templates known as article series boxes. Use the same template for all articles in the series – there is no need to maintain separate boxes on each page.

A vertical series box
This example has been inserted here using the following syntax: History of the United States

The contents can be edited by using the following link: Template:History of the United States

You can create similar boxes in a similar way.

Source of the template
The page Template:History of the United States might contain the following (or similar) wiki markup:

Footer boxes
Footer navigational boxes (called navboxes) may contain links about a broader topic. For example, the footer of The Netherlands shows all countries of the European Union – as The Netherlands is a member state. These boxes are created by inserting the template Navbox and adding the relevant information.

Blended series tables
It is also possible to place an article in two different series. For example, Franks is part of both the History of France and History of Germany series. But you should not join the two boxes as pictured. This syntax is deprecated, because it does not lend itself to using identical templates, and thus is highly fragile.
