To bring a new focus on the discussion, while I completely appreciate the choice to use the current templates as opposed to the rather massive Rayman 1 template, as I mentioned in another talk page, I still think the current set-up is inefficient. I propose we have a template a bit like this for level articles, that way, we avoid the bloatedness, but still have a more efficient setup:

==Autocollapse and Wikipedia templates==

I've been snooping around, and from comparing our [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js Wikipedia's], it seems we ought to have autocollapsing capabilities in Nav templates, we've not been able to manage getting them in yet. Any ideas?

Another item I'd like to mention is how our are navboxes currently like to make, there's a pretty large amount of code to work with, and I believe there ought to be some more accessible alternative. I don't have the power to implement Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Navbox Navboxes], but I believe they do have some manner of instruction on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Navbox how to do so], should an admin believe these templates to be feasible. While I don't really mind our current lot, I'd much prefer their Navbox templates to help in creation.

::Hmm, weird, the templates are still expanded even in the presence of one or more other collapsing templates, I tried checking in the Steam browser, it came up the same.

Just to clarify in case, collapsing works, it's getting them to automatically collapse when there's more than one navbox that is the issue. --[[File:Sig5 2TEST.png|150px|link=User:Master]] 18:29, 28 April 2014 (CEST)

:::I'm not convinced it's a good idea to have such a behaviour.
