Description MZMcBride 2013-08-13 17:54:59 UTC
The "Show table of contents (for pages with more than 3 headings)" user preference should be removed from MediaWiki core.

The table of contents box is auto-inserted, can trivially be hidden or exposed on a per-page basis with __MAGICWORDS__, includes a sticky [show|hide] link, and can be easily hidden with site-wide CSS as necessary.

The associated user preference simply isn't worth the additional code complexity and user interface clutter.

This should be an easy bug to resolve; marking it with the Bugzilla keyword accordingly.

Yep. I just hope I will not see mass additions of __NOTOC__ by the toc-haters party (my arch-enemy).
