This template's initial visibility currently defaults to collapsed, meaning that it is hidden apart from its title bar.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state=parameter may be used:
{{Protected areas of New York|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
{{Protected areas of New York|state=autocollapse}} will show the template autocollapsed, i.e. 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, but if not, it is fully visible.
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):
federal
sparks
shistoric
preserves
lists
For example: {{Protected areas of New York |federal}}
