Successfully upgraded to MediaWiki version 1.10. Tables can now be classed as "sortable" to allow dynamic sorting by columns. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Sorting for more information.

Once again I have been experimenting with wiki features and I came across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NavFrame. Wikipedia uses a combination of CSS and Javascript to make collapsible navigation boxes, which is perfect for spoilers (see Template:Spoiler) and conversation threads (see Template:Conversation).

The neat thing about this method is that it allows nested levels and complete wiki-text markup. An example is included below:

Spoiler warning: Solution follows

This is a spoiler

Spoiler warning: Extraneous details follow

This is a nested spoiler

I will migrate the Dan Katz puzzle hunt pages across to these new templates and will probably place the solution spoilers directly underneath the puzzle rather than in the discussion page. I now feel that this method (as we had it originally) is a much more intuitive structure.
