=== Collapsing lists === Hey, I noticed your query about collapsing lists and thought I'd leave you some links with info about formatting those in source editor as well as Wikipedia guidance on using them or not. It's not my area of expertise but generally speaking, I believe WP recommends against using them in mainspace (unless the collapsed/hidden info is truly only supplementary rather than essential to the topic) because of some accessibility issues, and that instead it's best to split off pages when lists become unwieldy. So that would recommend for making the Contents page into a clean list of major overhead categories, and then each would have a subpage. But, like I say, not usually among the questions I deal with so, yes, in case the details here can be of any use: *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Collapsing *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Scrolling_lists_and_collapsible_content *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility Hope that may be of help!

Thanks! :[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 19:38, 10 April 2019 (EDT) ::My pleasure! (Truth is I have considerably more wiki than ME/CFS expertise so if I can help out at least on that score, in terms of tools for organizing information and starting up basic pages that people with more scientific expertise may be able to come along behind and fill in a little more easily, well I'm just glad I can make a contribution.) [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 00:56, 11 April 2019 (EDT) :::Hi. Some time ago I copied collapsible list templates from several other wikis. It was a total nightmare to get them working to be honest but there's an example here: :::[[Common_symptoms_in_ME/CFS#Long_list_of_symptoms]] :::If they look expanded rather than collapsed by default then check my user CSS - it needed a few extra styles adding, I requested these to be added to the site Common.css but I can't remember if they were done or not. There's a similar thing on [[Template:Read_more]] - I was hoping to use it to partially hide the Quote field in certain references. The quote field might well increase visits since some of them are pretty controversial. E.g. Wessely contradicting his previous work then reverting back depending on the audience. :::A search for Templates created in the last year will come up with a lot of those recently copied from WikiMedia's Commons or Wikipedia if you are looking for extra features. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 19:16, 11 April 2019 (EDT) ::::Thanks, Njt! That's certainly helpful. Sorry it was such a nightmare to get the collapsible lists working. But you gave me some good sources to investigate! Thanks. ::::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 20:07, 11 April 2019 (EDT) ====Re: Collapsing lists -- ~~~~==== :: Replace this text with your reply
