Template:Prevnext3

Information

This template is a work-in-progress and will probably be re-named to something less obtuse quite soon, so avoid using it just at the moment.

Use this template when you want to provide links to the previous and the next sections of the article so the user isn't forced to go back to the index to navigate.

| indextext = The link name for index.*
}}
