Template:Cinema of the United States

Template documentation

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:

• {{Cinema of the United States|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
• {{Cinema of the United States|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

Note on the use of this template

Due to the large amount of American films and also due to objections that have been expressed about its use, please, do not transclude this template in American film articles, but only in general articles about the American film industry. Here are suggestions, that can be further debated in the talk page:

• Major American film studios
• Major production companies
• Hollywood (core article)
• Core articles on US Industry Awards (Academy, Golden Globe, Directors Guild of America, etc)
• Film festivals with a major award for American films (Sundance, …)

Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (create | mirror) and testcases (create) pages.
