Parameters
This template takes the following parameters, all of which are optional


 * positional parameter 1, named parameter 'title': These parameters give the main title of collapsed box, which occurs on the same line as the show link and is always visible. It defaults to 'Extended content'.
 * warning: If this parameter evaluates to true (i.e. is not 0, false, or empty) it will display a default warning line under the main title which reads 'The following is an archived debate. Please do not modify it. '
 * positional parameter 2: This is optional warning-line text. It will override the standard warning line above, and obviate the need for setting the 'warning' parameter.
 * 'expand': If this parameter evaluates to true (i.e. is not 0, false, or empty) it will leave the material uncollapsed with the border and coloring. Default is to collapse the material.
 * 'bg': Sets the background color of the collapsed material. Defaults to #CFC - a pleasant green.
 * 'border': Sets the width of the border line on the collapsed material. defaults to 1px.
 * 'b-color': Sets the border color. defaults to silver.
 * 'padding': Sets the padding on the collapsed material in the colored area. defaults to 8 px
 * 'width': Sets the width of the overall template
 * 'border2': Sets the border of the box that appears when template is expanded; defaults to "1px silver" (no provision to change from a solid line)
