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:

• {{Orson Scott Card|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
• {{Orson Scott Card|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

• Use {{Orson Scott Card |enderstate=expanded}} to show the Ender's Game Saga template in its expanded (fully visible) state.
• Use {{Orson Scott Card |alvinstate=expanded}} to show the Alvin Maker Saga template in its expanded (fully visible) state.
• Use {{Orson Scott Card |worthingstate=expanded}} to show the Worthing Series template in their expanded (fully visible) state.
• Use {{Orson Scott Card |otherstate=expanded}} to show the other works in their expanded (fully visible) state.
