Template documentation
Starting visibility: currently automatically selects itself to autocollapse
To set this template's starting visibility, the |state=
parameter may be used:
|state=collapsed
: ((American Civil War|state=collapsed))
to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
|state=expanded
: ((American Civil War|state=expanded))
to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
|state=autocollapse
: ((American Civil War|state=autocollapse))
- shows the template collapsed to the title bar if there is a
((navbar))
, a ((sidebar))
, or some other table on the page with the collapsible attribute
- shows the template in its expanded state if there are no other collapsible items on the page
If the |state=
parameter in the template on this page is not set, the template's starting visibility is taken from the |default=
parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to autocollapse
.
How to manage this template's collapsible groups/sections option
- This template includes collapsible groups/sections. When it first appears, one of these groups/sections may be set to be visible ("expanded") while the others remain hidden ("collapsed") apart from their titlebars. To achieve this, include the parameter
|name
where name is one of the following names identifying the groups/sections (omit any speech or quotation marks): "Origins", "CTCBS", "Leaders", "After" or "RTC"
- For example:
((American Civil War |Leaders))
