Thank you for your reply. So how to take the sensible test?

I think we should explore this. I don't think this is about extra clicks... On tablets like desktop we expand sections by default but __allow___ them to be collapsible. It would be interesting to add some event logging to see how widely used that feature is on tablet.
It could thus also be useful for desktop and I wouldn't outright dismiss it without evidence to backup it's usefulness.
Like Eallan I find this feature useful on both mobile and desktop (I use mobile site as my desktop experience) for navigating around complex documents.
Eallan happy to combine brainpower and work out a sensible test to see if it is useful or not if you are.

Im unsure that would be wanted on the desktop wiki. Desktop doesnt have

avoided if
possible.

This feature will not add extra clicks, because you can set unfolded as the default status, when you want to fold some content items, then you clicks.

Hi all! I am thinking about a new idea about a content tree extension of web/desktop/computer Wiki. When I use mobile phone to access website of Wikipedia, I can fold and unfold a content item of the content tree. That's very convenient. However, when I use computer to access Wiki, there is no such feature, I can not fold or unfold a content item. So shall we add this feature from mobile Wiki to the web/computer Wiki? In other words, let the user able to fold and unfold any content item at any level of the content tree. For example, I search Taipei, I get 1. History, 2. Geography, 1.1 First settlements, and 1.2 Japaneses rule ect. So I would like to able to unfold 1. History, and 1.1 First settlements, or I just unfold 1. History and fold 1.1 First Settlements to see 1.2 Japanese rule which is unfolded. So I would like to fold and unfold any level content items to further the visit quality. The mobile side wiki also can improve, since it can only fold and unfold the first level content item.
Also,add a go-back button which let the user go back to the content tree from any content item of any level in the content tree.
