==Use Cases==
==Collapsible table sections==
To make a wiki page more usable with extensive content, collapsible sections enabled through table extensions are available.
Trac ticket:{{Bug|612}} has been entered with links to sources.
The advantage of a collapsible section versus a linked page is that the content can be viewed or hidden in the context of the the original page or the opening view of a page. This can be a big advantage when there is surrounding information that helps complete the circumstances for the topic. A use case could be a design review where one wants viewers to see an outline of alternatives on their initial view (in order to set a preview of what is available) and then the viewer may click the expansion toggle to explode or hide the particular content.
It would operate in a manner similar to the table of contents, but without the restriction of using the headers as links and without the shifting of context away from the current view of the page.
