Not done: this is the talk page for discussing improvements to the template {{Navbox with collapsible groups}}. Please make your request at the talk page for the template concerned. Template:Navbox with collapsible groups is a general-purpose template that knows nothing about the DC Universe. -- John of Reading (talk) 08:47, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

(More) @Dstdnt: I've fixed Template:Green Lantern so that its View/Talk/Edit links work correctly. You should be able to edit that template yourself now. -- John of Reading (talk) 08:52, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Twenty subgroups-arbitary number

When working with London boroughs with in {{Public_housing_in_the_United_Kingdom}}- I run across this arbitary number. A problem as there are 33 boroughs. Why 20? Could this be reprogrammed to allow up to 35? There are also 28 states within the EU- and 50 + administrations within the US. This is pretty high on my wishlist --ClemRutter (talk) 14:19, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

ClemRutter refers to {{Navbox subgroup}}. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:59, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

ClemRutter, if you use "navbox|subgroup" instead of "navbox subgroup" there is no limit. I fixed {{Public housing in the United Kingdom}} for you. Frietjes (talk) 19:59, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

@Frietjes: Thanks- working perfectly. What was the reason that the state line was changed ? Is that documented somewhere now ? --ClemRutter (talk) 20:44, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

ClemRutter this feature is generally documented in the documentation for template:navbox, but for some reason the documentation there is recommending to use {{navbox subgroup}} instead of {{navbox|subgroup}}. I have started a thread at template talk:navbox to see why there is such a recommendation considering that it's less efficient and has the 20 list/group limitation.

I need help with Finnish version of this template

The layout of the Finnish version show the exact same layout as the English version here. The headers are not centered and the font size of those headers is not the same as the title of the template. CAJH (talk) 18:15, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Is there a way to expand multiple groups?

I wonder if there is a way to expand multiple child groups? If not, is adding the function possible? For example adding support for multiple groups in |selected= or adding a parameter called |selected1= Purin128AL (talk) 15:37, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

You can use |state1=uncollapsed for group1, |state2=uncollapsed for group2, etc. --Ahecht (TALK

Support underscore notation instead of nested templates.

Per Template talk:Navbox#Directly render child navboxes, a feature was added to Module:Navbox to allow child or subgroup navboxes to be rendered without nesting templates be using underscore notation. I have modified {{Navbox_with_collapsible_groups/sandbox}} to also support this notation. I added examples at {{Navbox_with_collapsible_groups/testcases}} to use this format as well. If there are no objections, I will copy that over to the main template.

I think long term, the goal should be to deprecate this template and merge it into Module:Navbox, since this template is just a wrapper anyway, as it would mean that we would no longer have to maintain separate codebases for changes like this. However, that is a much larger project than these tweaks. --Ahecht (TALK
