How to manage this template's collapsible groups/sections option
This template includes collapsible groups/sections. When it first appears, one of these groups/sections may be set to be visible ("expanded") while the others remain hidden ("collapsed") apart from their titlebars. To achieve this, include the parameter|name where name is one of the following words that identify the groups/sections (omit any speech or quotation marks):
BDA
age
dates
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to expanded, meaning that it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state=parameter may be used:
{{Birth, death and age templates|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{Birth, death and age templates|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.
