How to manage this template's initial visibility
To manage this template's visibility when it first appears, add the parameter:
|state=collapsed
to show the template in its collapsed state, i.e. hidden apart from its titlebar – e.g.{{BASEPAGENAME |state=collapsed}}
|state=expanded
to show the template in its expanded state, i.e. fully visible – e.g.{{BASEPAGENAME |state=expanded}}
|state=autocollapse
to show the template in its collapsed state but only if there is another template of the same type on the page – e.g.{{BASEPAGENAME |state=autocollapse}}
Unless set otherwise (see the |state=
parameter in the template's code), the template's default state is autocollapse
.
The {{collapsible option}}
template gives a standardised message for transclusion on template pages whose templates include a state parameter (through which their collapsibility may be managed).
It may be used on either the template page itself (wrapped within <noinclude></noinclude> tags), or on the template's {{Documentation}} subpage.
Indicating optional use of state name
If, in a template where {{collapsible option}}
has been transcluded, that template's state parameter has been enabled such that it need not be named when the template is called – i.e., the state parameter includes {{{1|}}}
, e.g.:
|state = {{{state|{{{1|}}}}}}
- or
|state = {{{state|{{{1|<noinclude>expanded</noinclude>}}}}}}
- etc
then...
{{collapsible option |statename=optional}}
...removes the instances of |state=
from the {{collapsible option}}
message, meaning it will appear as:

Changing default
To change the state default from "autocollapse", use either "collapsed" or "expanded", as in the following:
