Bush-related navigation templates[change source]

Articles about George H. W. Bush are organized into several themes. Because of the large number of articles involved, full navigation is split among several navboxes:

{{George H. W. Bush}} as a generic presidential biography template
{{GHW Bush cabinet}} lists the cabinet members in the Bush administrations

Duplication of contents across each of those should be avoided.

There is also a navigation sidebar, {{George H. W. Bush series}}, which should only include a selection of the most relevant articles.

Starting visibility: currently automatically selects itself to autocollapse

To set this template's starting visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

|state=collapsed: {{George H. W. Bush|state=collapsed}} to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
|state=expanded: {{George H. W. Bush|state=expanded}} to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
|state=autocollapse: {{George H. W. Bush|state=autocollapse}}
- shows the template collapsed to the title bar if there is a {{navbar}}, a {{sidebar}}, or some other table on the page with the collapsible attribute
- shows the template in its expanded state if there are no other collapsible items on the page

If the |state= parameter in the template on this page is not set, the template's starting visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to autocollapse.

For the navigation sidebar {{George H. W. Bush series}}, the |state= parameter has no effect; however, the |expanded= parameter can have the following values to expand their respective sections on specific pages:

|expanded=Campaigns (for the Presidential campaigns section)
