A seriesbox is a navbox used to traverse between multiple games in a given series or franchise. Mods and fangames taking place in the franchise are also listed if they are notable enough.

If a title is notable enough to be listed in a Seriesbox, but not notable enough to have a game page (such as a game that used a engine which Valve have never used it's code before), a Wikipedia link can be used instead (ex: '''[[Wikipedia:Quake Champions|Quake Champions]]''' for Quake Champions). If you want to use {{Wikipedia}} template, you need to add {{{icon}}} parameter set to no, otherwise it will add a Wikipedia icon Wikipedia icon.

Each Seriesbox should have an associated series page (ex: Team Fortress series, Left 4 Dead series).
