I think a great feature for very populated tables such as those at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_platform_virtual_machines would be the ability to hide rows. E.g. sort of "hide button" could appear somewhere on hovering the row. Or by mean of any other more predictable UI trick. Thank you.
I'd say that MediaWiki core is not the proper place for this. Local JS or Gadgets are more suitable. This is just scratching the surface of peoples' needs, which is to compare information using tables similar to google squared.

It is my first access to mediawiki's bugzilla and I'm not familiarized with the categories.

If you are saying this is a totally UI superficial JS trick, yes; it is. It should not even do any change in the information served to the client; the idea is just hide/unhide already-served HTML rows. Thank you!
WONTFIX per comment #1. This should be in a local wiki's JS, Gadget or site-wide.
Created attachment 6290 [details] JavaScript that adds row hiding ability to tables of class "wikitable".
Hi again. Inspired in http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/wikibits.js?227 (find: "Table sorting script") I made a wild JS code that does the thing I said. So, now I want this code to achieve World Domination. Yeah. I have been reading at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions and I don't understand what is the supposed way to announce the availability of a code like mine at the right place, or, at least, how can I contact with someone who can do that. I attached the code just in case of usefulness. Thank you.
