General structure for the bottom sections is:

  1. ==See also==
    1. {{Portal}} unless there are issues with the right side of the page.
    2. Then try * {{tl|portal-inline|Idaho}}
  2. ==References==
    1. {{reflist}}
  3. no more lvl1 headers
    1. Stubs - We put stubs above NavBars, in case the page is short, or there are issues with the right side.
    2. NavBoxes - these are bars that have a "show" on the far right that will expand into a "Navigational Box".
      1. {{Idaho}}

Stubs

Code Result
{{Idaho-stub}}

Stub notice for Idaho articles not covered by one of the other stub categories; placed at the bottom of article pages

If the priority articles in the top of this page don't interest you, you can always expand one of these stubs.

Navigational boxes are for several purposes:

  • Politics - previous office holder and succeeding office holder; Governor, Mayor, etc.
  • Sports - with "seasonal" pages (i.e. 2008 Boise State Broncos football season) - will allow the user to find Previous and Succeeding season

Generally, they should be placed after "External Links" section and before the "DEFAULTSORT" or "Category list".
Ideally, with the comment:

<!-- Generically, going from most specific to least specific...-->
{{Boise State Broncos football navbox}}
{{Boise State University}}
{{Mountain West Conference football navbox}}

Code Result
{{Idaho}}
