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}}

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:

{{Wikipedia templates|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{Wikipedia templates|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
