I browse with Safari on iOS with JS disabled by default. I do this for privacy and accessibility reasons (gotta stop those annoying popup modals, trackers and other annoyances).

One thing I noticed with Wikipedia with JS /enabled/, all the sub-categories of a topic are by default, closed.

But when I browse with JS disabled, all the sub-categories are /opened/ and I have the full article.

Since most people browse with JS enabled, this means they have to make additional clicks just to read the sub-categories.

Which leads me to question: which version is better? The JS where you have to make additional clicks, or the no-js version where you get the full article?



Closed subsections break page search (at least on iOS Safari), which I find very frustrating.


I always prefer the full article, but this is a matter of opinion. The issue is that the behavior is not consistent.
