Help:Table of contents

Any article with four or more headings will automatically generate a table of contents (which is henceforth abbreviated as a "TOC").

Positioning the TOC
The TOC automatically appears just before the first heading.

You can change that by typing, a magic word, in the place on the page where you want it to appear (in source mode).

Pages with fewer than three headings
If you'd like to show the TOC for a page with fewer than three headings, simply use  to force a TOC to be shown.

Alternatively, use  to place it in a specific place (besides forcing it to show).

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

Floating table
The TOC can be moved to a floating table on the right side by using the  template (which exists on most wikias).

A custom TOC
If you don't want the usual format of the TOC, you can disable the automatic TOC using  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.

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.
