Template:This American Life

Initial visibility

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

• |state=collapsed: {{This American Life|state=collapsed}} to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
• |state=expanded: {{This American Life|state=expanded}} to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
• |state=autocollapse: {{This American Life|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 is not set, the template's initial visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the template. For this template, that currently evaluates to autocollapse. If you add an article to this template, please also consider adding it to the appropriate subcategory of Category:This American Life
