No thanks. Right now I just want the other admins to weigh in.

Because the tables are often placed at the bottom of the page and are not instantly viewed, I am not sure the need to collapse them is necessary. I've tried collapsible tables for the gun and actor pages, but those tables tend to look very weird as it often looks too small.

I totally get what you are saying and for some of them, like the Beretta Firearms table, I agree, it isnt necessary. BUT, when you start to get multiple "see also" tables added to a page, or you have something as large as teh AK-47 template, I think it is nice not to have that giant thing there if you aren't interested in looking at it.

Also, with the collapsible tables, there is a trick to not making them look weird. Basically you need to add a header row that spans all 4-5 columns. You also need to give it a defined size. I am going to do one section on the M1911 page just to show you as a test and we can go from there.

I personally don't think the collapsible tables are necessary, as they are usually at the bottom of the page and if people don't want to see them, they can just move on without looking at it.

I don't think we need them.
