Editing navigation items
If you are an administrator, you can edit the navigation menu at MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation. You can also access this in your Admin Dashboard by clicking Top Navigation.

Each item in the navigation bar is represented by a line in MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation page. Level 1 items are prefixed with one asterisk (*), level 2 items are prefixed with two asterisks, and level 3 items are prefixed with 3 asterisks. Like so:

After the asterisk, type the name of the page you are linking to. If you want the name to display differently than the page's actual name, set a pipe between the name of the page and the text you want to display. For example, if you are linking to a page called Lion but you want to display it as Kitten, use  after the asterisk.

If you don't want a navigation item to link to anything, add  in front of it. For example, a navigation bar set to: *#|Movies ** Prequel trilogy ** Sequel trilogy *#|Video games ** First video game ** Second video game **#|In Development *** Untitled Third Video Game|Third game *** Spin-off (Game)|Recently announced spin-off title will contain:


 * Two Level 1 navigation items, Movies and Video games, that aren't linking to any pages.
 * Five Level 2 navigation items, two being under Movies and linking to Prequel trilogy and Sequel trilogy pages on your wiki, and three being under Videogames and linking to First videogame and Second videogame, with In Development not linking to anything.
 * Two Level 3 navigation items under In Development, first linking to the Untitled Third Video Game page on your wiki and displaying the text Third game, and a second one linking to Spin-off (Game) and displaying the text Recently announced spin-off title.

After you make your changes, review your changes and save.

How many links can it contain?
The Navigation menu offers a maximum of 312 links, although it is not necessary to use all of them. The links are grouped as:


 * 4 Level 1 links which combine for a total width of 550px. These are the links that are always visible above the colored menu bar.
 * 7 Level 2 links with a maximum total width of 729px. These are the links that appear on the colored bar when hovering over any of the level 1 links.
 * 10 Level 3 links with a dynamic width and a minimum width of 150px. These appear as dropdown style menus under each of the level 2 links.

It is best to showcase as much relevant content as possible in an organized fashion, without overstuffing your navigation. Include links to those categories and pages that are most important for readers, while leaving out any links that are only useful for editors or that are already built into Fandom's interface. For example, links to contact Fandom staff, create a new page, or access Recent Changes can already be found elsewhere on every page, and links to special pages or editing guidelines are only relevant to editors and shouldn't take up a navigation bar slot.
