This is a documentation subpage for Template:Germanic peoples. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template's initial visibility currently defaults to collapsed, meaning that it is hidden apart from its title bar.

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

• ((Germanic peoples|state=expanded)) will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
• ((Germanic peoples|state=autocollapse)) will show the template autocollapsed, i.e. 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, but if not, it is fully visible.
