Per default the Table of Contents (TOC) on a page are placed to the left of the Page. If the editor prefers the TOC to the right, the TOC template is used. Editors can add it in the corresponding place of the page using the following command: {{TOC right}}

Navigation templates

On IMSMA Wiki, a navbox is a template that lists at least several pages that are related. The relationship between all the pages in a single navbox is such that the reader of the current page will be readily referred to other related material with a single link. The goal is to have a navbox in every page (bottom).
