This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

• ((Edmonton Elks roster navbox|state=collapsed)) will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
• ((Edmonton Elks roster navbox|state=expanded)) will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

Note: When updating the template to reflect roster changes, make sure to remove or add this template to the player's article page as appropriate.
