Note on my changes
[edit]I started out by simply wanting to switch to horizontal list formatting, but found the structure of the template hard to follow, so I overhauled it so as to:
- display fully opened for easier editing
- display only the 3 top-level headers when opened on article pages
- allow the whole of a single sub-group to display, either by specifying an unnamed parameter (standard practice for navboxes) or using "expanded=" (as it did previously)
- eliminate the very costly use of nesting {{Navbox with collapsible groups}}
The improvement in efficiency is shown by the pre-processor report:

Useless clicking
[edit]I can understand having the main subdivisions initially collapsed, but it seems superfluous to add a second level of clicking required before being able to see any links in the second two categories (Southern and Central) — especially given that Southern East is only a single line. --Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 17:18, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
Done. Tropylium, I have restructured the template slightly and made a few other improvements at the same time. This also means that the allowable values of the
|expanded=
parameter (which may also be passed in unnamed form) have changed; this parameter will need to be changed in any transclusions of this template that use it. I considered retaining the existing values for backwards compatibility, but that would have made the code unnecesarily complicated. See the revised template documentation. --NSH002 (talk) 21:58, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
Template needs to be completely redone
