Basic Usage
The most basic way to use `Template:Options-nav` is to simply include the following code at the top or bottom of an article:
```wiki Template loop detected: Template:Options-nav ```
This will generate the default navigation bar, containing links to fundamental options concepts like Call Option, Put Option, Options Greeks, Implied Volatility, Options Strategy, Covered Call, Protective Put, Straddle (option strategy), Strangle (option strategy), and Options Trading.
Parameters
`Template:Options-nav` accepts several parameters to customize the navigation bar. These parameters allow editors to control which links are displayed, their order, and whether certain sections of the bar are hidden. Here's a detailed breakdown of each parameter:
- |title= – This parameter allows you to override the default title of the navigation bar. By default, the title is "Options Trading Navigation". You can change this to something more specific to the article's focus, such as "Advanced Options Strategies Navigation". Example: `|title=Advanced Options Strategies`.
- |no_basics= – A boolean parameter (true/false). If set to `true`, this will hide the "Basics" section of the navigation bar, which contains links to fundamental options concepts. This is useful for articles that assume the reader already has a strong understanding of the basics. Example: `|no_basics=true`.
- |no_strategies= – A boolean parameter. If set to `true`, this will hide the "Strategies" section, containing links to common options strategies. Useful for articles focused on risk management or theoretical aspects of options. Example: `|no_strategies=true`.
- |no_risk= – A boolean parameter. If set to `true`, this will hide the "Risk Management" section. Example: `|no_risk=true`.
- |no_resources= – A boolean parameter. If set to `true`, this will hide the "Resources" section, containing links to further learning materials. Example: `|no_resources=true`.
- |strategy1= through |strategy6= – These parameters allow you to specify up to six specific options strategies to be highlighted in the "Strategies" section. The template will add these strategies to the list, in addition to the default strategies. Use the exact title of the strategy article. Example: `|strategy1=Iron Condor`, `|strategy2=Butterfly Spread`. If a specified strategy does not exist as a wiki page, the link will be red, indicating a missing article.
- |resource1= through |resource3= – Similar to the strategy parameters, these allow you to specify up to three additional resources to be highlighted in the "Resources" section. Use the exact title of the resource article. Example: `|resource1=Options Pricing Models`, `|resource2=Volatility Surface`.
- |custom_link1_title= and |custom_link1_url= – These parameters allow you to add a custom link with a specific title and URL. This is useful for linking to external resources or articles within the wiki that don't fit into the predefined categories. You can add up to three custom links using `custom_link1`, `custom_link2`, and `custom_link3`. Example: `|custom_link1_title=Options Calculator`, `|custom_link1_url=https://www.example.com/options-calculator`.

- **Link Titles:** Use clear and concise link titles that accurately reflect the content of the linked page.
- **Avoid Red Links:** Minimize the use of red links (links to non-existent pages). If you specify a strategy or resource that doesn't have a corresponding article, consider creating the article or removing the link.
- **Placement:** Generally, place the `Template:Options-nav` at the *top* of the article, before the introduction. However, placing it at the bottom is also acceptable, especially for longer articles. Choose the placement that best suits the article's structure and readability.
- **Edit Summary:** When adding or modifying the template, always include a clear and informative edit summary explaining the changes you made.
- **Consider the Target Audience:** If the article is aimed at beginners, avoid using parameters like `no_basics=true`. Tailor the navigation bar to the expected level of knowledge of the readership.

Example: `|strategy1=Iron Condor`, `|strategy2=Butterfly Spread`. If a specified strategy does not exist as a wiki page, the link will be red, indicating a missing article.
- |resource1= through |resource3= – Similar to the strategy parameters, these allow you to specify up to three additional resources to be highlighted in the "Resources" section. Use the exact title of the resource article. Example: `|resource1=Options Pricing Models`, `|resource2=Volatility Surface`.
- |custom_link1_title= and |custom_link1_url= – These parameters allow you to add a custom link with a specific title and URL. This is useful for linking to external resources or articles within the wiki that don't fit into the predefined categories. You can add up to three custom links using `custom_link1`, `custom_link2`, and `custom_link3`. Example: `|custom_link1_title=Options Calculator`, `|custom_link1_url=https://www.example.com/options-calculator`.

```wiki
- Template:Options-nav
Template:Options-nav is a crucial component for maintaining consistent navigation across articles related to options trading within this wiki. It provides a standardized method for linking to other relevant pages, enabling users to easily explore related concepts and strategies. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to understanding, utilizing, and customizing this template, aimed at beginners and intermediate wiki editors.
Purpose and Functionality
The primary purpose of `Template:Options-nav` is to create a uniform navigational bar at the top or bottom of articles dealing with options. This bar contains links to core concepts, related strategies, risk management techniques, and further learning resources. Using a template ensures consistency in appearance and functionality across the entire options trading section of the wiki, improving user experience and facilitating knowledge discovery. Without a standardized approach, each article editor might create different navigation structures, leading to a fragmented and less intuitive experience for readers.
The template dynamically generates links based on predefined parameters. These parameters allow editors to tailor the navigation bar to the specific content of the article, highlighting the most relevant topics. While the template provides a solid default structure, it also offers flexibility for customization to accommodate niche or specialized articles. It is designed to be relatively simple to use, even for editors with limited wiki experience.
Basic Usage
The most basic way to use `Template:Options-nav` is to simply include the following code at the top or bottom of an article:
```wiki Template loop detected: Template:Options-nav ```
This will generate the default navigation bar, containing links to fundamental options concepts like Call Option, Put Option, Options Greeks, Implied Volatility, Options Strategy, Covered Call, Protective Put, Straddle (option strategy), Strangle (option strategy), and Options Trading.
Parameters
`Template:Options-nav` accepts several parameters to customize the navigation bar. These parameters allow editors to control which links are displayed, their order, and whether certain sections of the bar are hidden. Here's a detailed breakdown of each parameter:
- |title= – This parameter allows you to override the default title of the navigation bar. By default, the title is "Options Trading Navigation". You can change this to something more specific to the article's focus, such as "Advanced Options Strategies Navigation". Example: `|title=Advanced Options Strategies`.
- |no_basics= – A boolean parameter (true/false). If set to `true`, this will hide the "Basics" section of the navigation bar, which contains links to fundamental options concepts. This is useful for articles that assume the reader already has a strong understanding of the basics. Example: `|no_basics=true`.
- |no_strategies= – A boolean parameter. If set to `true`, this will hide the "Strategies" section, containing links to common options strategies. Useful for articles focused on risk management or theoretical aspects of options. Example: `|no_strategies=true`.
- |no_risk= – A boolean parameter. If set to `true`, this will hide the "Risk Management" section. Example: `|no_risk=true`.
- |no_resources= – A boolean parameter. If set to `true`, this will hide the "Resources" section, containing links to further learning materials. Example: `|no_resources=true`.
- |strategy1= through |strategy6= – These parameters allow you to specify up to six specific options strategies to be highlighted in the "Strategies" section. The template will add these strategies to the list, in addition to the default strategies. Use the exact title of the strategy article. Example: `|strategy1=Iron Condor`, `|strategy2=Butterfly Spread`. If a specified strategy does not exist as a wiki page, the link will be red, indicating a missing article.
- |resource1= through |resource3= – Similar to the strategy parameters, these allow you to specify up to three additional resources to be highlighted in the "Resources" section. Use the exact title of the resource article. Example: `|resource1=Options Pricing Models`, `|resource2=Volatility Surface`.
- |custom_link1_title= and |custom_link1_url= – These parameters allow you to add a custom link with a specific title and URL. This is useful for linking to external resources or articles within the wiki that don't fit into the predefined categories. You can add up to three custom links using `custom_link1`, `custom_link2`, and `custom_link3`. Example: `|custom_link1_title=Options Calculator`, `|custom_link1_url=https://www.example.com/options-calculator`.
