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:

• {{2012 films|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
• {{2012 films|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

Note on the use of this template

This template is intended for use in the film lists ONLY to connect specific year lists by country together. It should NOT be used in any articles on films of this year or related works.
