I'm currently searching for an extension which allows the TOC to be extracted from the page and used elsewhere in the skin (for example, in a sidebar - outside the confines of the article itself). It seems to be a common request yet I haven't been able to find any solutions.
If this extension does not exist then I will be making one. It's my first time delving in to Mediawiki so I would appreciate any guidance on how to go about doing this.
I've found this post which seems to be an overview of what I need to do - can anyone expand on this?
