Template:TOChidden/doc

Purpose of this template
This template is for page (Table Of Contents) code to go into a collapsible box that has [show]/[hide] functionality with the default being that the box is collapsed (and the TOC hidden) thereby allowing for a single click on the [show] area for display. This provides editors an option to better pages with long TOCs so that the lead isn't by default occupied with a large amount of dead blank space.

The necessity of this template is often disputed, so apply it with consideration.
