Template:Series box

}}{{#if:|}}

This story is part of a series {{#if:|
Preceded by:	None
Succeeded by:	None

This template is meant to provide a standard, tidy way of linking together stories that form a series that's meant to be read in a particular order. It takes three parameters, all optional: series, previous, and next. "series" is very freeform; it's the text that's inserted in the middle of the template (defaults to "This story is part of a series"). "previous" and "next" are meant to be links to the previous and next stories. For example, the following template call:

{{series box
|previous= [[User:Joe Bloe/Cheesy Menace|Cheesy Menace]]
|series= The Magic Cheese Saga
|next= [[User:Joe Bloe/Magic Cheese 2: Electric Boogaloo|Electric Boogaloo]]
}}

results in:

The Magic Cheese Saga
Preceded by:	Cheesy Menace
Succeeded by:	Electric Boogaloo

Omitting parameters results in their defaults being used or rows being omitted. For example, the following template call:

{{series box| next= [[[[User:Joe Bloe/Magic Cheese 2: Electric Boogaloo|Electric Boogaloo]]}}

Results in:

This story is part of a series
Succeeded by:	Electric Boogaloo
