Automatic or manual collapsing and expanding of long pages.
Pages can be collapsed automatically according to a size threshold
set in the user preferences. Pages can be collapsed manually by clicking
the "Collapse" link in the TOC.
When a page is collapsed, only the intro & TOC are displayed. The
individual TOC lines link to section views, which can be individually edited
(classic section editing).
Section editing/viewing behavior has also been improved. When a section
with subsections is viewed or edited, all subsections are also loaded.
Known issues:
- After saving a section, we return to the full article view
rather than the section view, even if we previously were in section view
mode.
- Should work with Standard and Monobook, not tested with Cologne Blue yet.
- In Monobook, no backlink to the mother article is shown during section
viewing (Gabriel, can you fix that?)
* Add 'pagetitle' message to customize the HTML page title format (eg, "$1 - Wikipedia Encyclopedia")
* Some XHTML fixes to Nostalgia skin, prefs
* Removing the unfinished Smarty skins, renamed Standard to Classic
* Remove "gnunote" message in favor of general "copyright" msg, which is filled with the link & name in $wgRightsPage/$wgRightsURL and $wgRightsText
* Support a copyright-related icon as $wgRightsIcon (includes sample gnu-fdl.png)
* Show "Powered by MediaWiki" icon in footer (poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png by Dan Carlson)
on the Creative Commons and Dublin Core links so they can be identified by
humans in Mozilla's navigation bar. Add a <link rel='copyright'> as well if
$wgRightsPage or $wgRightsUrl is set. Fix metadata links for MonoBook.
Disable Smarty skins.
