Forum:Something wrong with table of contents!

I'm wondering how I would go about editing the collapsible "Content" box that appears to assist users in navigation when there are lots of sections on an article.--User:Joel amos


 * Please don't say "pl0x" (Free st00f pl0x is the really annoying word it originated from.), it's kinda annoying, and you can't do that. :P -- Jeffwang16  (Talk)   (Contributions)   (Email me!)  14:09, August 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Navboxes should have three letters somewhere on them that will say: v &bull; d &bull; e This stands for v(iew), d(iscussion), and e(dit). Simply click the edit one and supposing it is not fully protected, you should be able to edit it. Be very careful though, as they can be easy to mess up. 16:59, August 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Please give a link to an example page with the collapsible content box you're talking about. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 10:01 AM PST 6 Aug 2010

They are content boxes, like this: (Sorry for the terrible impression)

 * The Table of contents? It is automatically generated to match the headers on a page. The most it can be edited is it's location with certain Magic words, or a CSS edit to make certain level edits not appear. It can't be edited beyond that. --Yoshord 17:32, August 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * If the original poster is talking about the automatically generated table of contents (TOC), I suspect you can use Javascript to add collapsibility and a control (hide/show), but I wouln't know how to do it off the top of my head. I've seen other wikis put the TOC inside a collapsible table. See MW:Manual:Collapsible_tables for how to add support for collapsible tables. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 4:08 PM PST 6 Aug 2010

What I want to do is take away the numbers at the beginning of each heading because my headings have numbers in them, which make it confusing. Here's a link.User:Joel amos


 * Did you have alook at the media wiki page link was here I posted a link to on the other version of this question you posted about the 'content' box ? (which was answered originally with a request for clarification of what was actually wanted, before somebody removed the delete tag placed on this duplicate version of the question and restarted it)! The media wiki page has several 'tweaks' that can be applied to the TOC code. As it was few days ago I canot remember what they all were now. But one allowed a different text to appear what is in the heading IRRC - BulldozerD11 20:02, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Impossible to do, resolved
That's also impossible. Maybe use a manual template, and if it has the TOC, add
