parameter may be used:
|state=collapsed
:{{Atlanta timeline|state=collapsed}}
to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar|state=expanded
:{{Atlanta timeline|state=expanded}}
to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible|state=autocollapse
:{{Atlanta timeline|state=autocollapse}}
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 autocollapse
