 * This can be realised with a custom toggle.
 * wiki markup


 * result
 * {| class="wikitable"

!colspan="2"| Title [+/-]
 * Column 1 || Column 2
 * abc || def
 * - id="mw-customcollapsible-test" class="mw-collapsible"
 * 123 || 765

Change the color of the expand-collapse link
How can I change the color of the expand-collapse link text? I want to do this here I assume:
 * http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikia.css

I want the problem solved without inline CSS.

See the problem here:
 * http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/User:Timeshifter/Sandbox_20

Also, how can I add a couple nonbreaking spaces in front of the expand-collapse link? I want this problem also solved without inline CSS. --Timeshifter (talk) 19:13, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Jquery Sliding
Is it possible to use the Jquery Effect  instead of using a fader for collapsing? --Echoblast53 (talk | contributions | chat) 00:49, April 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * No, not with this built in collapsing feature. You would need to write your own custom collapsing JS separate from this one, as this does not support an end-user option for changing the animation. (Perhaps you could request such a feature as a support request at Special:Contact so that Wikia can possibly feed your suggestions upstream to the MediaWiki folks.)


 * Also, the author noted in the $.makeCollapsible source code that sliding does not appear to work properly with tables, so you might want to be careful about that. (CTRL + F, search for "action" to locate the part of the code that collapses the elements.)

Place link in another part of a table

 * Try one of these two possibilities.


 * Both are documented on the help page.
 * Can I do multiple collapsible cells?

 * I think I can do create changing toggle text when it's not in the header cells by combining two tables, I'll try doing this by css.FortressMaximus (talk) 16:36, April 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * This is a table within a table, with some styling tweaks. Will this work for you?
 * It works but the cell that collapses can't be formated as a data cell, instead it's behaves as another header cell. http://macross.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Infobox/Mecha, the cell is at the bottom and this is the custom table class I made http://macross.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikia.css and an example of the problem http://macross.wikia.com/wiki/VF-11_Thunderbolt#Technology_.26_Combat_Characteristics
 * Nevermind! Fixed it, the cell i placed the internal table in was a header cell so wiki assume the same formatting in the interntal table's data cell, thank you very much guys!FortressMaximus (talk) 17:24, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Wikia
Does this not work when using the "Wikia" layout? I've been scratching my head over why I could never get it to work using that layout before noticing that this code seems to work fine when I switch over to Monobook. Is there someway to make it work on the Wikia layout too? Siberian99 (talk) 04:54, January 31, 2014 (UTC)
