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

This is the {{Wikipedia template messages}} navigation box.

It is suitable for transcluding at the bottoms of template messages and its subpages.

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

Usage

[change source]

{{Wikipedia template messages}}

Starting visibility: currently automatically selects itself to autocollapse

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

|state=collapsed: {{Wikipedia template messages|state=collapsed}} to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
|state=expanded: {{Wikipedia template messages|state=expanded}} to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
|state=autocollapse: {{Wikipedia template messages|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 starting visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to autocollapse.
