Forum:SH Archive/Appearances List too long and doesn't auto-hide

The title is self-explanatory but to be more specific, the appearances section in these articles: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and Star Wars: The Old Republic, are REALLY long. I was told that they are supposed to auto-hide and although I have seen it auto-hide a couple of times, refreshing causes it to un-hide and the button disappears entirely. If one were to actually measure out the actual length of the page, I would not be surprised if it were to be longer than some/most people are tall, with a significant portion of it being mainly on appearances. Exhibit A: [] I'd say the plot summary is already quite wordy, I don't mind that, but when moving down the page, I have to scroll down, and down, and down, and down.. I'm sure you get the picture. Despite the plot summary being quite wordy in its own right, the appearances section occupies roughly half the entire length of the article, and thats with the voice cast section in its own scroll box!

I mentioned in the talk page for Star Wars: The Old Republic that if, for whatever reason the need to list everything and anything that ever appeared in that particular media in question, or rather when the game is released, shall we continue to add on to the list of weapons, items, mobs, quests, NPCs, skills, talents, abilities, etc. etc. etc. simply because they appeared in the game? You won't have like a couple of each of those things, maybe a dozen, in total, per section; you'll have a couple dozen or even hundreds of people/items/locations, all within the game! It is an MMORPG after all. Do you want an index? Or a wiki article? Perhaps a category page? <-- This is an example of what I mean when I say the appearances section is too long.

Well, whatever your views on what I raised in the previous paragraph, is there a way to either auto-hide by default OR put the whole thing in its own scroll box? Unless you don't agree that it is very long as it stands currently? It is most certainly not reader friendly. Songjin 05:26, March 29, 2011 (UTC)
