This method is from [[News:Main Page|Wiki News front page]], it involves three parts, CSS styles, JavaScript code and a template, which follow here:
*[[MediaWiki:Common.css]] ''- the CSS styles''
 
*[[MediaWiki:Common.js]] ''- the JavaScript code which extends the DynamicNavigation areas''
 
*[[Template:Dynamic navigation]] ''- The template used to create a DynamicNavigation area''
 
In your wiki the JS and CSS articles contain no other code apart from that required by DynamicNavigation, but when setting it up on a different wiki you may find those articles already populated. If this is the case, just append them with the DynamicNavigation code from the corresponding articles on this wiki. The [[Template:Dynamic navigation|Dynamic navigation template]] contains usage instructions.

which would give the following for english users

<div class="english-example">

or this for everyone else

<div class="other-langs">
