Template:Navbox documentation

Template documentation

This is a navigational template created using {{navbox}}. It can be transcluded on pages by placing {{Navbox documentation}} below the standard article appendices.

Initial visibility

Initial visibility: currently defaults to autocollapse

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

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

Templates using the classes class=navbox ({{navbox}}) or class=nomobile ({{sidebar}}) are not displayed in article space on the mobile web site of English Bharatpedia. Mobile page views accounted for 60% to 70% of all page views from 2020 through 2025. Briefly, these templates are not included in articles because 1) they are not well designed for mobile, and 2) they significantly increase page sizes—bad for mobile downloads—in a way that is not useful for the mobile use case.
