{{suite}} is a template which creates a quicknav for an article "suite"; usually one article which has been broken into many pieces for length.

Add {{suite}} to the top of each page with the article names in a list.

{{suite|content=* [[Optimus Prime (G1)]]
* [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys]]
}}

When {{suite}} is used after a disambig tag, it will automatically switch to a truncated form and 'hug' the template above. (Occupying the empty space to the right of the continuity note without pushing article content down.)

{{subsuite}}

If a page is broken has been broken into many pieces (such as Optimus Prime (G1)) it may be preferable to create a single sub-page with the suite contents rather than updating it on all the pages my hand. Create a page such as Optimus Prime (G1)/suite, and include the template as described above making sure to use the template {{subsuite}} instead.

You can then add the bare tag {{suite}} with no parameters and the "/suite" subpage will be automatically included.

The automatic inclusion checks for the existence of a "/suite" page, and it's not found moves one level 'up' the chain. As a result a page such as "Optimus Prime (G1)/Machine Wars/toys" would break this function because it would need to go up two levels. Since at this time no page on the wiki uses such a format... the template author doesn't really care, but he'll add another layer of checks if it ever becomes an issue.
