Required CSS
Add this to your MediaWiki:Common.css:
/* Compact Toggle Logic */
/* 1. When expanded, hide the 'Show' link */
.mw-collapsible:not(.mw-collapsed) .mw-compact-show {
display: none !important;
}
/* 2. When collapsed, the 'Hide' link is naturally hidden because
its parent (.mw-collapsible-content) is hidden by MW default CSS. */
/* Optional: Ensure pointer cursor if inline styles are stripped */
.mw-compact-show, .mw-compact-hide {
cursor: pointer;
}
