Hi Matt,

The actual setting is : at page load the TOC is displayed as a developped tree, and if the user wishes to hide it, he can close the tree. A very simple change could be to reverse this: for any page having more than 4 titles, the page would have a "show content" link, to let the user roll the tree open... This is a simple hack of the javascript if I am not mistaken.

The second more radical option would be to completely hack the mediawiki engine : you might want to search for __NOTOC__ in the file includes/parser.php to change this, either by setting option or hacking the file.

My MW 1.4.0 server always displays a TOC whenever there are more then a certain number (4?) sections in a page.

Is there a means to configure MW such that it _never_ displays a TOC unless the markup has a "__TOC__" in it?

My group is running 1.4.0 (yes, I know this is ancient) server on one system to be upgraded soon, am building a separate 1.5.6 server.
