This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that 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; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
{{2012–13 in men's ice hockey|state=collapsed}}will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{2012–13 in men's ice hockey|state=expanded}}will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Usage
editThis template is a navigational tool between top-level professional league around the world in the 2012–13 season. A league must be professional or semi-professional and also be the top level of competition in the country in order to be included in this navigational template.
If the top league of a country – or group of countries in the case of a multinational league such as the National Hockey League or Kontinental Hockey League – falls during the southern hemisphere winter then both the 2012 and 2013 season should be included. See documentation of Australia already included in this and past templates.
