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

This is the ((Wikipedia templates)) navigation box.

It is suitable for transcluding at the bottoms of template documentation and templates guidelines.

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopaedic content.

Usage

((Wikipedia templates))

Initial visibility: currently defaults to autocollapse

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

|state=collapsed: ((Wikipedia templates|state=collapsed)) to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
|state=expanded: ((Wikipedia templates|state=expanded)) to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
|state=autocollapse: ((Wikipedia templates|state=autocollapse))
- shows the template collapsed to the title bar if there is a ((navbox)), 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 autocollapse.
