Note: Per consensus and convention, most route-map templates are used in a single article in order to separate their complex and fragile syntax from normal article wikitext. See these discussions [1],[2] for more information.
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:
{{Phase II, Chennai Metro|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{Phase II, Chennai Metro|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
