Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
Initial visibility options

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:

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

Usage

This template selectively displays the types of emerging categories in a navbox. To select which technologies are displayed, use parameters matching the type, such as |ag= or |quantum=. Give each parameter any value to make that line display, and leave the parameter unset to make the line stay hidden. For example,

((Emerging technologies|ag=yes|topics=yes))
