Since recently no articles seem to have a TOC. The HTML for a page contains:

<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" />

where I'd expect to see a TOC, but no content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.27.171.241 (talk) 13:23, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Today (25th March 2023), the table of contents has reappeared! On desktop it appears in a separate scrolling section to the left of the document. I hope it is here to stay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.27.171.241 (talk) 16:02, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing TOCs on any Wikipedia pages anymore - why? This is a degradation, IMHO. Thanks. Sullidav (talk) 13:23, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:VPT. In both cases, you should state which pages are affected, which skin and browser you are using, and whether there is any difference when you are logged out. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:30, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply

@Redrose64 - Thanks. I do not see a TOC at the top of this page, so it's evidently some kind of browser/interface error. Glad it's not a Wikipedia change. Sullidav (talk) 19:24, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up - I switched skins to an older one as that discussion suggests, but it looks like the issue was that I was used to seeing TOC at top of the page, not where it is now, in the left column below the Wikipedia menu. I think that's the only issue - that TOCs moved to a sort of hidden place. Sullidav (talk) 19:32, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So you were using Vector-2022 skin, which is a pile of crap. But this is still the wrong venue to report such problems. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:35, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The acronym for Table of Contents (i.e., TOC), is correctly written as ToC and not as TOC, since we write the word of non-capitalized, the acronym should reflect that, as is true for all other acronyms of such sort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.230.193.195 (talk) 11:19, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
