the other item is that I have yet not figured out why
the TOC does not
appear on the main page (but seems to work fine on a regular article)
any hints will be most welcome...
Funnily enough, I just came upon the code responsible for that yesterday. There's
actually a specific check that stops the parser adding a toc on what
it knows to be the main page.
includes/Parser.php:lines 1846-1850:
# never add the TOC to the Main Page. This is an entry page that should not
# be more than 1-2 screens large anyway
if( $this->mTitle->getPrefixedText() == wfMsg('mainpage') ) {
$doShowToc = 0;
}
If you really want a ToC there, perhaps you could just comment out those lines of code.
