HideSection

A Mediawiki extension that adds links on each header to collapse the section. This allows users to easily wade through long wiki pages and jump to the section they want to read.

This extension hides sections hierarchically. That means if you hide a top level header, any headers below it are automatically hidden. Additionally, there is a "show all"/"hide all" button.

Installation

Requires Mediawiki 1.25 or higher, as we use extension registration. Just do the standard phrase in your LocalSettings.php:

wfLoadExtension( "HideSection" );

Configuration

• $wgHideSectionImages - Use these images as hide/show links. Default is null. If this array is set, images will be added according the the place marked in location. Location "begin" is before the first text of the header, while "end" places it at the very end of the header.

$wgHideSectionImages = [
	"show" => "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f7/Arrow-down-navmenu.png",
	"hide" => "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Arrow-up-navmenu.png",
	"location" => "begin" # or "end"
];

• $wgHideSectionHideText - If set to a true value, text show/hide links are disabled. Useful when only images are wanted.
• $wgHideSectionTitleLink - If set to a true value, adds a show all/hide all to the right of the page title.
