Choosing banners to collapse

The choice of which banners to collapse is left up to editors' discretion. Some banners have dedicated collapse headers, such as:

• WikiProjects  – {{WikiProject banner shell}}
• Redirect categories – {{Redirect category shell}}
• {{On this day}} templates – self-collapsing
