-The Collapse template is used for placing collapse boxes around discussions. It is a two-part template, used in conjunction with {{#switch: {{BASEPAGENAME}} | Collapse top={{tl|Collapse bottom}} ({{tl|cob}}) | Collapse bottom={{tl|Collapse top}} ({{tl|cot}}) | #default=its paired template }}.
+The {{tlx|collapse top}} template (a.k.a. {{tlx|cot}}) and its paired template {{tlx|collapse bottom}} (or {{tlx|cob}}) are used for placing a collapse box around a talk page discussion, especially when the content contains complex wikimarkup such as tables.  For very simple content, the one-piece template {{tlx|collapse}} can be used instead.
-This template should only be used in accordance with the [[Wikipedia:refactoring]] guideline; it should never be used to to end a discussion over the objections of other editors, except in cases of unambiguous disruptive editing.
