Template:History of the British Isles
| History of the British Isles |
|---|
 |
Usage
If this template is used without any parameters in the format,
{{History of the British Isles}}, the sidebar displays down the right-hand side of the page as displayed above.
If the parameter |bar= is set to any value, then the template displays as a bar or box across the width of the page, depending on the use of the parameters in § Additional parameters below. This is the format to use as a navbox at the bottom of an article.
- For example:
{{History of the British Isles|bar=yes}}
- would display as:
| Overview | | |
|---|---|---|
| Prehistoric period | ||
| Classical period | ||
| Medieval period | ||
| Early modern period | ||
| Late modern period | ||
| Related | ||
If, as in the latter case above, |bar= is set to any value, then the § Additional parameters section applies and the visibility parameters function as described. If |bar= is not used, then those parameters are ignored.
Additional parameters
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
{{History of the British Isles|state=collapsed}}will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{History of the British Isles|state=expanded}}will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
