hidden appearances script at MA Bp has shown us the way! read on. Bonko 19:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

"Hello. I wrote this script for Memory Alpha's similar problem with "appearances" sections. Maybe you can use it.this script It will count the items in the list and collapse it until the user selects to show them. If the information is in a tree, each sub-tree can be collapsed/expanded individually. Anyone who would rather have the scroll boxes can modify the "appear" class in their user:/monobook.css. Since your appearances sections are not in a tree like those at MA, you might want to edit it so that it hides the first level at first. Anyway, scroll boxes are annoying because they break up the flow of the article, they force the viewer to look at something long in a small window no matter how big their screen is, and they put interface controls in the data of an article, which is a bad, imo. --Bp 00:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)" from Template talk:Scroll box.
