Template talk:Infobox row

Collapsible row
Some infobox templates, like Infobox tree or Structure, have a feature where some rows are automatically collapsed if they contain too many characters. Instead of this feature having to be implemented for each template every time, I think we would benefit from it being implemented in Infobox row. This is less error-prone (see this change) and it helps keeping the style consistent long term. To implement this feature in a way that is backward compatible with already existing templates, I suggest we add a new numeric parameter: iff present, it corresponds to the number of characters after which the row is collapsed (maybe another metric can be used, but this is how it currently works in Infobox tree and Structure). Of course, if the paramater is not specified, the row is never collapsed. --MDLC01 17:18, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
