To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

• {{Science fiction|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
• {{Science fiction|state=autocollapse}} will show the template autocollapsed, i.e. 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, but if not, it is fully visible.

• {{Speculative fiction}} – should have content similar to that of this template
