{{Template:Collapse Templates}}

The {{tlx|collapse|<nowiki>folding text</nowiki>}} template is used for placing collapse boxes around ''short'' discussions and bits of discussions. To fold ''long'' discussion threads, use {{tlx|Collapse top}}<code>... lots of text ...</code>{{tlx|Collapse bottom}}.

This template should only be used in accordance with the [[w:en:Wikipedia:refactoring]] guideline; it should never be used to end a discussion over the objections of other editors, except in cases of unambiguous disruptive editing.

Do not hide content in articles. This violates the [[w:en:WP:Manual of Style#Scrolling lists and collapsible content]] and [[w:en:WP:Accessibility]] guidelines.

== Usage ==

'''''Note: {{Tl|Collapse}} needs to be [[Wikipedia:Substitution|substed]] in order for the time stamp functionality to work properly.'''''

{{Tlx|Collapse|1=<var>Discussion text to be put into box.</var>|2=<var>Optional custom heading</var>}}

It is definitely safest to use the named {{para|1}} and {{para|2}} parameters, because otherwise any "=" character will break the template.

=== The <code>bg</code> parameter ===

The <code>bg</code> parameter is optional. It changes the background color. Use [[Web color]] values (e.g. <code>#F0F2F5</code>).

;Example:

<code>{<nowiki />{Collapse|1=<var>Discussion text to be put into box.</var>|bg=#F0F2F5}<nowiki />}</code> creates:

{{Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|bg=#F0F2F5}}

=== The <code>padding</code> parameter ===
The <code>padding</code> parameter adjusts the amount of cell padding (defaults to <code>8px</code>):

<code>{<nowiki />{Collapse|1=<var>Discussion text to be put into box.</var>|padding=20px}<nowiki />}</code> creates the following (expand the box to see the border padding effect):

{{Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|padding=20px}}

=== The <code>float</code> parameter ===
The <code>float</code> parameter allows the collapsed content to float to the left, right, or center of the page (defaults to <code>none</code> with <code>width = 100%</code>):

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Collapse|1=<var>Discussion text to be put into box.</var>|float=center<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> creates the following:

{{Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|float=center}}

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Collapse|1=<var>Discussion text to be put into box.</var>|float=center|width=30em<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> creates the following:

{{Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|float=center|width=30em}}

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Collapse|1=<var>Discussion text to be put into box.</var>|float=left|width=30em<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> creates the following:

{{Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|float=left|width=30em}}
{{clear}}
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Collapse|1=<var>Discussion text to be put into box.</var>|float=right|width=30em<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> creates the following:

{{Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|float=right|width=30em}}
{{clear}}
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Collapse|1=<var>Discussion text to be put into box.</var>|float=none|width=30em<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> creates the following:

{{Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|float=none|width=30em}}

=== Around header text ===

When used with a section of text, include the section header in the collapsed portion of text. For example, given:

{| style="background-color: lavender"
| Example text|== [[Help:Section|Heading]] ==<br />{{Lorem ipsum}}
|}

Replace with:

<code>{{Tlsp|Collapse|1={{Lorem ipsum}}|2=[[Help:Section|Heading]]}}</code>

===The <code>expand</code> parameter===
Simply add {{para|expand|yes}} to have the box show up in expanded form with a "hide" link, instead of collapsed form with a "show" link. Other options: {{para|expand|}} <code>yes, y, expand, expanded, uncollapse, uncollapsed</code>. Note: {{para|expand|no}} will fold the box (default).

===The <code>clear</code> parameter===
In some situations you may not want the default <code>clear: both;</code> CSS to apply, with puts the collapse box below any left- or right-floated content within the same HTML block. In this case, you can use {{para|clear|none}}, {{para|clear|right}}, or {{para|clear|left}}, as needed.

===When content includes tables===
This template frequently breaks when used around content that consists of or includes [[Help:Table|wikitables]]. Such content can be made collapsible by using the {{tlx|collapse top}} and {{tlx|collapse bottom}} templates instead of {{tlx|collapse}}.

If you want to collapse only the table and not other content, you can do this using wikitable parameters. See the [[Help:Collapsing#Collapsing tables by default|Collapsing tables]] guide for help.

== Re-using at other wikis ==
This template depends upon having rules for the three classes (collapsible, uncollapsed, and collapsed) in the appropriate CSS files, and some related JavaScript installed. This template transcludes {{tl|main other}} and {{tl|lorem ipsum}}, which should also be imported at the same time.

For MediaWiki versions ≥ 1.18, this template can simply be exported and then imported into another MediaWiki installation. Changes to the source code that will need to be made are:
:* <code>class="collapsible</code> needs to be changed to <code>class="mw-collapsible</code> (probably because the class had apparently been deprecated since ''MediaWiki v1.20'').
:* <code>|#default=collapsed}}</code> changed to <code>|#default=mw-collapsed}}</code>.
:* Some additional changes to the source code will need to be made in order for this template to become usable on the Main/Article (ns:0) [[mw:Help:Namespaces|namespace]].

The toggle text can be edited at external Wiki's [[MediaWiki:Collapsible-expand]] and [[MediaWiki:Collapsible-collapse]] pages. Further information at [[mw:ResourceLoader/Modules#jquery.makeCollapsible|jquery.makeCollapsible module]].
