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.
This template uses {{Navbox with collapsible sections}}. To show a particular section of the template while leaving the other sections collapsed, use {{Protected Areas of New York |expanded=Section}}, where Section is one of
federal
sparks
shistoric
preserves
lists
. (Omit any speech or quotemarks.) For example, {{Protected Areas of New York |expanded=federal}}.
