Revised <iframe> tags to require a user click before loading external content. This is primarily to avoid having PDF content load unnecessarily each time an article is visited. Removed support for <embed> tags.
22 August 2007
Implemented <iframe> and <embed> tags to allow embedding of material in articles. This avoids any copyright conflicts when creating entries that duplicate external site content. See individual puzzles in The Name of the Rose for an example.

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:
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.
