Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This is a simple navigation template based on ((navbox)).

To use, copy and paste ((Telecommunications)) at the bottom of an article.

The template is suitable for transcluding at the bottom of articles related to Telecommunications.

Initial visibility: currently defaults to collapsed

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

  • |state=collapsed: ((Telecommunications|state=collapsed)) to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
  • |state=expanded: ((Telecommunications|state=expanded)) to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
  • |state=autocollapse: ((Telecommunications|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 initial visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to collapsed.

The above documentation is transcluded from Template:Telecommunications/doc. (edit | history)
