}}</li>
</ul>

== Behaviour notes ==
<ul>
<li>The collapsible panel uses the core [[mw:Manual:Collapsible elements|CollapsibleContent]] module (<code>mw-collapsible</code>), so it works for logged-out readers on any modern MediaWiki — no gadget required.</li>
<li>The notice is a [[Bharatpedia:AMBOX|ambox]]-style flexbox; it will not float or overlap other elements.</li>
<li>Pipes inside <code>details</code> must be escaped as {{tl|!}}.</li>
</ul>
