.That was its code.
This template is intended as a metatemplate for sidebar templates (vertically-aligned navigation (navbox) templates usually positioned on the righthand sides of pages) in the same spirit as {{Wp/bal/Infobox}} for infobox templates and {{Wp/bal/Navbox}} for navbox templates.
Currently, two preformatted versions of {{Wp/bal/Sidebar}} – {{Wp/bal/Sidebar with dividers}} and {{Wp/bal/Sidebar with heading backgrounds}} – and one variant, {{Wp/bal/Sidebar with collapsible lists}}, are also offered. The two preformatted versions provide layouts used by the majority of sidebars in Wikipedia, while {{Wp/bal/Sidebar with collapsible lists}} adds collapsibility to a Sidebar's sections, i.e. the means to show or hide sections by clicking links beside their headings.

Required for the {{Wp/bal/navbar}} links at the bottom of the sidebar to function correctly, unless these are omitted (see navbar at the bottom of this table).

headingstyle | Use to alter the default CSS styling set for section headings. To alter the CSS styling for a specific section's heading, use headingNstyle, where N is the number of the section. |

Other parameters
[edit source]Parameter | Explanation |

Microformat classes for the corresponding parameters. |

Handling long links
[edit source]{{Wp/bal/normalwraplink}} may be used to handle links that should wrap within the sidebar or otherwise need to be made to wrap in order to prevent the sidebar becoming too wide. Use {{normalwraplink|longlinkname}}
, where longlinkname is the long link without its square brackets.
Use the wraplinks
parameter to turn link wrapping off for the whole template.
