Template:Hidden
This template's documentation was also ported from Wikipedia, originally from Template:Hidden/doc. The original authors of the documentation are shown on the documentation's edit history page.

This template creates a dynamic navigation box using style sheet declarations in MediaWiki:Common.css and Javascript code in MediaWiki:Common.js. In a saved, rendered page this template creates a clickable link that toggles between [show] and [hide]. It displays the first parameter (the heading) with a [show] link on the right. If [show] is clicked by the user, it displays the second parameter (the body) below the heading and the [show] link becomes [hide]. Clicking on [hide] then hides the body and the [hide] link becomes [show] again.
If this template is nested in another, the show/hide links in the hidden content keep their state; there is no parameter for collapse all or reveal all.
Usage
Full syntax
{{Hidden | expanded=true <!--(omit for initial hidden state)--> | style = | headerstyle = | header = | contentstyle = | content = |fw1= |fw2= |bg1= |bg2= |ta1= |ta2= }}
Parameters
Only two parameters are required for this template:
- header
- text for header (title); alternative to using unnamed parameter {{{1}}}
- content
- text for body (content); alternative to using unnamed parameter {{{2}}}
Optional
- style
- CSS styling for template overall.
- headerstyle
- CSS styling for title (header).
- contentstyle
- CSS styling for the hidden content.
- expanded
- any nonblank value (e.g.
|expanded=on
) will cause the template to be initially expanded by default. - multiline
- any nonblank value (e.g.
|multline=y
) will reduce the line-height of the title and add some padding to avoid overlap with the show/hide button.
Note: This template will not respect the user preference "justify paragraphs".
