 * 3) The wiki boilerplate text below used to create a navigation template is saved on the _Nav sub-page.
 * 4) To transclude the navigation template from the subpage within the relevant sub-pages of the unit, put a colon  in front of the page name contained withing two curly brackets, for example  representing the page where the navigation template is stored for transclusion.
 * For example the wiki text: transcludes the navigation template on this sub-page to each of the target page(s) using the wiki text   on the target page.
