This is a customized {{tl|Navbox}} metatemplate, resembling {{tl|Navbox with columns}}, that enables the display of data&nbsp;– usually a single wikilink&nbsp;– beside an abbreviation (also wikilinked) for each of the [[U.S. state|state]]s (and, optionally, [[Territories of the United States|territories]]) of the United States. For examples of templates that use this template, see [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:US states navbox with columns|this template's WhatLinksHere]] and search for instances of "Template:" in the list provided.

== Pro forma ==

Currently, the only required parameters for this template are '''''name''''' (the template's name that follows "Template:") and '''''title'''''.

In addition to the parameters listed below, the template also handles the ''titlestyle'', ''above'', ''abovestyle'', ''below'' and ''belowstyle'' parameters common to {{tl|Navbox}}es.

===Notes===
; ''prefix'' : Use to specify anything required to precede a state's common name in order to create a wikilink for that state's abbreviation. For example, "List of Governors of" (without quotes) for [[List of Governors of Alabama]], [[List of Governors of Alaska]], etc.
; ''suffix'' : As above, except to follow a state's common name. For example, "Supreme Court" (without quotes) for [[Arizona Supreme Court]], [[Arkansas Supreme Court]], etc.
The ''prefix'' and ''suffix'' parameters are not mutually exclusive, i.e. both can and may need to be used to create a working wikilink format. It may also be necessary to create one or more redirects to articles whose names use a different format.

The "'''Territories'''" subheading and list of five territories only appear if at least one of the ''AS'' (American Samoa), ''GU'' (Guam), ''MP'' (Northern Mariana Islands), ''PR'' (Puerto Rico) and ''VI'' (U.S. Virgin Islands) parameters is used.

For a list identifying the two-letter state abbreviations, as used by the [[United States Postal Service|USPS (United States Postal Service)]], see [[U.S. state#List of states|this list of states]].
