I finished writing up and testing some CSS pseudolink styling for toggles. If you want your collapse/expand toggles to appear like normal (Vector skin) links, put the following CSS in your MediaWiki:Common.css: <pre> /* For mw-collapsible toggles to make them look like regular links */ /* :visited, :hover, and :active pseudoclasses must always be in that order! */ .pseudolink { cursor:pointer; color:#0645AD; } .pseudolink:visited { color:#0B0080; } .pseudolink:hover { text-decoration:underline; } .pseudolink:active { color:#faa700; } </pre> I think that should be built in, to supplement the jQuery MakeCollapsible features in 1.18. See also, about cursors: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30327 I think the regular pointer cursor is better, and more familiar. The up-down arrows are used for moving window panes.
Another note: The :visited property does not work on the MakeCollapsible pseudolink class here. I just tried this: <span class="mw-customtoggle-restrikes">[[#|click to show]]</span> And it works just as well as my CSS, but :visited still does not work. Of course, I don't think :visited makes any sense on a toggle, so in fact it is good that it does not work. I still included it in my pseudolink class to make it generic in case it is used somewhere where it would be helpful for :visited to work.
It appears [[#|click to show]] does not work at mediawiki.org, so I assume there's some setting that's forwarding that kind of link to the main page. Can that be turned off for WMF to make pseudolinks work?

badon, if you're indicating that your patch here needs review, please attach the patch as a diff: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Patch#Posting_a_patch Thanks!
From what I understand from the IRC convo we had and the other edits/bugs created, this was proposed because of [[#|]] not working. However with that assumption being wrong and it do working where it is needed [1], I think this bug is invalid. badon, if this is indeed still valid, please re-open :) Krinkle [1] There is a case, discovered thanks to badon, where [[#|]] still goes wrong, but that doens't apply to this situation and has been recorded under bug 33437.,
I think it's valid, but since there's a better way to do this once bug 33437 gets fixed, this bug is WONTFIX. Sumana: thanks for the link! As time goes by, I'm gaining more experience in understanding how MediaWiki works, so I'll probably be able to produce patches in the near future.
