Template:Show/doc

This template is for use when you wish to minimise information to be expanded at the user's discretion. Use sparingly, it does not work on mobile. For reduced post-expand include size, the 2nd numbered parameter (content) is optional. If omitted, {{show end}} should be used following the content text.
