This is a navigational template created using {{ navbox }} . It can be transcluded on pages by placing {{Animal rights}} below the standard article appendices and above categories .
Initial visibility
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to
REDIRECT Template:Parameter value
This page is a redirect . The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
From a page move : This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
__EXPECTSHORTPAGE__
, 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 <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />| state = parameter may be used:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{Animal rights|state=collapsed}}</syntaxhighlight> will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{Animal rights|state=expanded}}</syntaxhighlight> will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Templates using the classes class=navbox ({{ navbox }} ) or class=nomobile ({{ sidebar }} ) are not displayed in article space on the mobile web site of English Wikipedia. Mobile page views accounted for 60% to 70% of all page views from 2020 through 2025. Briefly, these templates are not included in articles because 1) they are not well designed for mobile, and 2) they significantly increase page sizes—bad for mobile downloads—in a way that is not useful for the mobile use case. You can review/watch phab:T124168 for further discussion.
