To show multiple, or all of, the subsections at once, use staten , e.g.:
{{Wikipedia essays|state=expanded|state1=collapsed|state2=collapsed|state3=expanded|state4=collapsed|state5=collapsed|state6=collapsed}}
Parameter state controls the entire template; state1 controls the building essays; state2 controls the civility essays;
state3 controls the neutrality essays; state4 controls the notability essays; state5 controls the humour essays; state6 controls the 'About essays' section. These can be set to expanded or collapsed. The above example will produce this:
