Forum:Collapsing table help

Me and the other admin on the Kuroshitsuji wiki are trying to figure out how to make a collapsible table for the past poll results. We both tried to test collapsible tables on the main page's talk page by copy and pasting the coding from here and here. We haven't edited the codes at all, but they don't work. What are we doing wrong? SereneChaos 16:44, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * You need to enable this functionality by adding some code to your wiki's MediaWiki CSS and JS pages. See the MediaWiki manual on collapsible tables OR import the script from elsewhere, like the dev wiki. — Sovq 18:13, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know if in the meanwhile you have made some change after you posted this but, to me, the show/hide buttons on that page (talk page) work perfectly.
 * This is probably going to have the obvious response but... Do you have javascript enabled?
 * On a side note, how many times this past week have people asked here help with the show/hide code? I've never had to make it work but I didn't expect so many people to have trouble with it.

 * We did copy and paste the code from the MediaWiki manual, but it's still not displaying, at least for us. I'm not sure if javascript in enabled. What do you have to do to enable it?
 * There's probably so many questions because a lot of new admins don't have experience with coding and the amount of text is daunting. And I'm sure most (like myself) just skim the help page for the code, which doesn't work automatically. SereneChaos 01:48, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Part of the problem may be that Help:Collapsing is a bogus page and appears to be just copied directly from Wikipedia. It has a bunch of wrong info for Wikia wikis. I made some updates, but someone else should review this help page. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Aug 2011 7:49 PM Pacific
