When working with London boroughs with in {{Public_housing_in_the_United_Kingdom}}- I run across this arbitary number. A problem as there are 33 boroughs. Why 20? Could this be reprogrammed to allow up to 35? There are also 28 states within the EU- and 50 + administrations within the US.

ClemRutter, if you use "navbox|subgroup" instead of "navbox subgroup" there is no limit. I fixed {{Public housing in the United Kingdom}} for you.

ClemRutter this feature is generally documented in the documentation for template:navbox, but for some reason the documentation there is recommending to use {{navbox subgroup}} instead of {{navbox|subgroup}}. I have started a thread at template talk:navbox to see why there is such a recommendation considering that it's less efficient and has the 20 list/group limitation.

Per Template talk:Navbox#Directly render child navboxes, a feature was added to Module:Navbox to allow child or subgroup navboxes to be rendered without nesting templates be using underscore notation. I have modified {{Navbox_with_collapsible_groups/sandbox}} to also support this notation. I added examples at {{Navbox_with_collapsible_groups/testcases}} to use this format as well. If there are no objections, I will copy that over to the main template.

I think long term, the goal should be to deprecate this template and merge it into Module:Navbox, since this template is just a wrapper anyway, as it would mean that we would no longer have to maintain separate codebases for changes like this. However, that is a much larger project than these tweaks. --Ahecht (TALK

Adding the in-line notation is

Done (and the notation is now implemented at {{LGBT}} as a first example). The code is written so it can be integrated with Module:Navbox/sandbox once it's shown to be stable. --Ahecht (TALK

Hi! I'm trying to get this template to work on kw.wiki (kw:Skantlyn:Navbox with collapsible groups) but it's not rendering quite right (my test cases are at kw:Devnydhyer:Gazamp/PageTemp). I can usually figure out what's wrong but this one is managing to elude me (maybe something wrong with the horizontal lists?). Any help (or pointers on where I could find help) would be very very appreciated. Thanks!
