About this template[edit]
This template was developed based on a discussion on the Ireland talk page regarding objection there to the use of the term "British Isles". It is based on the original British Isles template developed by Lofty for use on articles relating to those islands. By default it will insert the above template but has the possibility to set a different title, if necessary.
It is proposed that articles where the community would prefer the use of a different term first reach a consensus with regard to what other term(s) to use and then insert the template, adjusting the title as necessary.
How to use this template[edit]
The template can be inserted on a page in one of two ways:
- 1. Where there are no objections to the use of the term "British Isles" on a page, use the following:
-
{{British Isles}}
- 2. On articles where there are objections, first reach a consensus as to what other term(s) to use, then insert the template using the following code (replacing "Title" with the agreed title):
-
{{British Isles|Title}}

How to manage this template's initial visibility
To manage this template's visibility when it first appears, add the parameter:
|state=collapsedto show the template in its collapsed state, i.e. hidden apart from its titlebar – e.g.{{British Isles |state=collapsed}}|state=expandedto show the template in its expanded state, i.e. fully visible – e.g.{{British Isles |state=expanded}}|state=autocollapseto show the template in its collapsed state but only if there is another template of the same type on the page – e.g.{{British Isles |state=autocollapse}}
Unless set otherwise (see the |state= parameter in the template's code), the template's default state is autocollapse.
