Module:COVID-19 pandemic (sandbox)

Note: Pages have a 2048 kB limit on transclusions. If the limit is broken then the page stops rendering.

{{COVID-19 pandemic}} uses 310 kB and {{#invoke:COVID-19 pandemic|}} uses 155 kB of the limit as of January 2024.
{{COVID-19 pandemic|short=yes}} only uses 147 kB and {{#invoke:COVID-19 pandemic||short=yes}} only uses 73kB by omitting most links under "Locations" and "Data (templates)":

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:

{{COVID-19 pandemic|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{COVID-19 pandemic|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

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):
timeline locations impacts issues variants institutions people data
For example: {{COVID-19 pandemic |issues}}

This is a navigational template created using {{navbox}}. It can be transcluded on pages by placing {{COVID-19 pandemic}} below the standard article appendices.

Initial visibility

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:

{{COVID-19 pandemic|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{COVID-19 pandemic|state=expanded}} 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 account for approximately 68% of all page views (90-day average as of September 2024^[update]). 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.
