Currently all but the first are hidden by default. It would be nice to be configure some of them to be shown by default instead.

By default the first section of the sidebar menu on Vector Skin (usability initiative) is expanded, and when the user open/close the other ones the values are saved on a cookie. It would be very interesting to choose which sections are expanded/collapsed by default as administrators. As sysops could control which sections are more important to be viewed. As an example; If none cookie was found, sidebar is setup to load sysop values. If a cookie was found, sidebar is setup to load user values. This propose it is a little different from [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23869 23869]
Moved to the Extensions-section under "Vector". The collapsiblenav-stuff is part of the Vector-extension (which has emerged from the usability initiative)
Best way to do this is probably by setting a flag on the section in MediaWiki:Sidebar to indicate it should not be collapsed by default. User settings will, as always, override the default settings. Prio has been bumped from highest/enhancement back to normal/enhancement.
Unassigning default assignments. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/54734
The bug is still reproducible with Ubuntu 13.04 on Chromium 28.0.1500
Bartosz: should this bug still be filed under MediaWiki extensions --> Vector?
Clearly not, see bug 54871.
Problem solved by bug 39035.
