Since yesterday the link to toggle the table of contents is missing in Internet Explorer 8. No Javascript errors are shown, but I can confirm in IE's console that $('<a href="#">').lenght === 0 but $('<a href="#" />').lenght === 1 So for some reason the link is not created any more by the code in mediawiki.util.js.
In current trunk, mediawiki.util.js's TOC setup has: $tocToggleLink = $( '<a href="#" class="internal" id="togglelink"></a>' ) which should be fine. 1.18 has it without the close tag: $tocToggleLink = $( '<a href="#" class="internal" id="togglelink">' )
r93364 fixed it on trunk with other misc code cleanup. Will backport that and any other breaking things.
Backported as r103961 on REL1_18 and r103962 on 1.18wmf1.
Created attachment 9527 [details] Confirmed fix! Before deployment of the revision above, the link was missing on this page as viewed in IE 8 / WinXP. Now shows!
