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:
{{Scottish provinces|state=collapsed}}will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{Scottish provinces|state=expanded}}will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Collapsible groups and sections option
- This template includes collapsible groups/sections. When it first appears, one of these groups/sections may be set to be visible ("expanded") while the others remain hidden ("collapsed") apart from their titlebars. To achieve this, include the parameter
|namewhere name is one of the following words that identify the groups/sections (omit any speech or quotation marks): "major" "minor" "insular" "border"
