Help:Table of contents

Any article with more than three headings will automatically generate a table of contents (which we will abbreviate here as TOC).

Position
The TOC appears just before the first heading.

You can change that by typing  in the place on the page where you want it to appear.

Hiding the TOC
Type  anywhere on the page to remove the TOC. This is often used on a wiki's home page.

If you never want to see a TOC, you can turn it off in your preferences.

If you have  and   on the same page, the TOC will appear.

Showing a TOC for pages with fewer than three headings
Just use  to force a TOC to appear. Or use  to place the TOC in a specific place.

Floating table
The Table of contents can be forced onto a floating table on the right hand of the screen with the code below:

Other formats
If you don't want the usual format of the TOC, you can disable the automatic TOC using  and then add a manual TOC instead. This is often done to link to alphabetised sections. For example, if you want to link to 26 sections lettered A to Z, you can use a Compact TOC which is a special template used instead of the standard TOC.

You can copy the Compact TOC template from the Central Wikia to your wiki if you want to use this. Here's how it looks:

Multiple TOCs on one page
If is used multiple times, only the first occurrence causes a ToC to appear. If you want extra ones, you will need to add them manually, using a template like CompactTOC.

Showing and hiding the TOC
You can click the show/hide link to expand or collapse the TOC. By default, logged in users see the TOC shown by default and unregistered users see the TOC collapsed by default. When you click show or hide, the wiki will remember your preference and do the same for the next page you visit.
