Add {{Navbox string handling templates}} to the bottom of a documentation page of a template listed in the navbox.
How to manage this template's visibility
- Use
{{Navbox string handling templates |state=collapsed}} to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state.
- Use
{{Navbox string handling templates |state=expanded}} to show this template in its expanded (fully visible) state.
- Use
{{Navbox string handling templates |state=autocollapse}} to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state only if there is another template of the same type on the page.
- Unless set otherwise (see state parameter within the template's code), autocollapse is the default state.
