Usage

How to manage this template's collapsible groups/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 |name where name is one of the following words that identify the groups/sections (omit any speech or quotation marks):
BDA age dates

Template:Big currently defaults to Template:Big

To set this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

|state=collapsed: {{Birth, death and age templates|state=collapsed}} to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
|state=expanded: {{Birth, death and age templates|state=expanded}} to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
|state=autocollapse: {{Birth, death and age templates|state=autocollapse}}
- shows the template collapsed to the title bar if there is a {{navbar}}, a {{sidebar}}, or some other table on the page with the collapsible attribute
- shows the template in its expanded state if there are no other collapsible items on the page

If the |state= parameter in the template on this page is not set, the template's initial visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to Template:Big.
