{{lua|Module:Collapsible list}}

This template produces a collapsible list. It is possible to set [[CSS]] styles for the "frame" (the {{tag|div}} tags surrounding the list), for the list title, and for the list items. The template supports an unlimited number of list items.

This template is typically used in [[WP:Infobox|infoboxes]] and [[WP:NAVBOX|navboxes]]; it should not normally be used in regular article content, per [[MOS:DONTHIDE]].
Regarding using this template in infoboxes, MOS:DONTHIDE acknowledges an exception:<blockquote>A few infoboxes also use pre-collapsed sections for infrequently accessed details. If [such] information ... seems extraneous or trivial enough to inspire pre-collapsing it, consider raising a discussion on the article (or template) talk page about whether it should be [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information|included at all]].</blockquote>

== Syntax ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="font-size:95%;overflow:auto;">
{{Collapsible list
 | expand = 
 | framestyle = 
 | titlestyle = 
 | title = 
 | liststyle = 
 | hlist = 
 | bullets = 
 | 1 =     <!--(First item in list; the "1 =" is usually not required)-->
 | 2 =     <!--(Second item in list; ditto)-->
 | 3 =     <!--(Third item in list; etc.)-->
 | <!-- etc -->
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

== Parameters ==
{{Aligned table
 |style=line-height:1.35em;
 |col1style=padding-right:1.5em; |col2style=vertical-align:middle;
 | ''expand''     | Any text in this parameter (including "no") sets the list's default state to expanded rather than collapsed. Omit the parameter or leave it blank to set the default state to collapsed.
 | ''framestyle'' | Custom CSS styling applied the template overall (title and list).
 | ''titlestyle'' | Custom CSS styling applied to the title.
 | ''title''      | The list's title (always on view beside the list's [show/hide] link).
 | ''liststyle''  | Custom CSS styling applied to the list (specifically, to the {{tag|ul}} tags delimiting the list).
 | ''hlist''      | Include as {{para|hlist|on}}, {{para|hlist|true}}, etc to produce a horizontal rather than vertical list.
 | ''bullets''    | Include as {{para|bullets|on}}, {{para|bullets|true}}, etc to place a [[Bullet (typography)|bullet point]] before each list item.
 | Unnamed parameters<br>(first, second, third...) | The list items (in the order in which they will appear). If none are supplied, the template outputs nothing.

=== Example of a list without borders because it is within an infobox ===
In these examples, the fields leader_name2 and leader_name3 have been changed to use collapsible list.
