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

This template creates a dynamic navigation box using style sheet declarations in MediaWiki:Common.css/Nav.css and JavaScript code in MediaWiki:Common.js/CollapsibleElements.js. It displays the first parameter (the heading) with a [show] link on the right. If [show] is clicked by the user, the second parameter (the body) is displayed below the heading and the [show] link becomes [hide]. Clicking on [hide] then hides the body again and the [hide] link becomes [show] again.

The template does not provide an argument to designate the initial state of the show/hide control. In the nested case, show/hide controls in hidden content retain their state. There is no facility for collapse all or reveal all.
