Usage

How to manage this template's initial visibility
To manage this template's visibility when it first appears, add the parameter:

|state=collapsed to show the template in its collapsed state, i.e. hidden apart from its titlebar – e.g. {{Wikipedia technical help |state=collapsed}}

|state=expanded to show the template in its expanded state, i.e. fully visible – e.g. {{Wikipedia technical help |state=expanded}}

|state=autocollapse to show the template in its collapsed state but only if there is another template of the same type on the page – e.g. {{Wikipedia technical help |state=autocollapse}}

Unless set otherwise (see the |state= parameter in the template's code), the template's default state is autocollapse.

Purpose

This is a navbox of the main technical help pages on English Wikipedia.

It doesn't list them all as there are too many, but these should be the most helpful ones of a technical nature.

Additional help

Some of the links are also on the {{Help navigation}} navbox. Other helpful navboxes for technical matters include

• {{Wikipedia template messages}} for an index of templates.
• {{Wikipedia referencing}} for referencing templates.
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Accessibility/Navigation menu is helpful for accessibility.
• {{Botnav}} for bot page navigation.
• Wikipedia:User scripts/Navbox for user scripts.

Also, look at template documentation, e.g. Template:Navbox/doc.

As for categories, these are useful:

• Category:Wikipedia help and subcategories such as Category:Wikipedia how-to, Category:Wikipedia image help, Category:Wikipedia interface help, Category:Wikipedia link help, and so on.
• Category:Wikipedia information pages

• {{Wikipedia editor navigation}} an amalgamation of navboxes that includes this navbox.
