|desc='''Template's Purpose:''' Use this template to place a ''FamilySearch Wiki'' style [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadcrumb_(navigation) breadcrumb trail] near the top of a Wiki article.<br><br> | |||
'''Purpose of a Breadcrumb Trail:''' A breadcrumb trail is used to display topics related to the subject of a Wiki page. It is a navigational sign post showing where the current page fits in relation to a hierarchy of subjects in the Wiki. The topics in a trail usually appear in a hierarchy that drills down from general to more specific topics. The final topic in the breadcrumb trail usually reflects the title of the page where the trail is displayed. Breadcrumb trails serve as a brief topical guide to that Wiki page. <br><br> | |||
The term comes from the trail of bread crumbs left by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansel_and_Gretel Hansel and Gretel] in the fairy tale of the same name.<br><br> | |||

<pre>Copy and paste the contents of this box below to the spot where you wish the breadcrumb to appear, and then fill-in each line as appropriate with a Wiki page link after the = . | |||

== Placement == | |||
Place this template at or near the top of the Wiki page. | |||
The only thing that should ever appear on a Wiki page above a '''breadcrumb trail''' is a "hat note" such as a [[FamilySearch Wiki:Disambiguation| disambiguation]] note. | |||
Occasionally, part of a Table of Contents box or part of a Navigation box (sidebar) can appear on the same level as a breadcrumb trail as long as they are not on the line above it. | |||
== Example == | |||
<nowiki>{{breadcrumb</nowiki><br> | |||
<nowiki>| link1=[[United States Genealogy|United States]]</nowiki><br> | |||
<nowiki>| link2=[[Illinois Genealogy|Illinois]]</nowiki><br> | |||
<nowiki>| link3=</nowiki><br> | |||
<nowiki>| link4=</nowiki><br> | |||
<nowiki>| link5=[[Illinois Cemeteries|Cemeteries]]</nowiki><br> | |||
