Partially collapsed table with vertical scrolling and show/hide links?

{{COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country}}

Is there a simple way to convert this below to a partially collapsed table with vertical scrolling? Along with show/hide links?

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
![[COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country]]. 
|-
|{{Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country}}
|}

References

The table reference will show up in the references section of the article it is in. I used {{talk refs}} here to place the references in this talk section.

There is discussion here:

• Template talk:COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country

@Timeshifter: This will do it

Wikitext
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible" ![[COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country]]. |- |{{scrolling window|link=Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country|height=150px|title=New articles}} |}

References

Unfortunately I may not have time to read through the discussion at present, gotta finish checking my watch list here and on meta, also multitasking with real world stuff. However, I'm fairly certain that the manual of style discourages this usage in articlespace. (please ping on reply)

Thanks Quantocius_Quantotius. I added a link to Template:Scrolling window to Help:Table#Scrolling. I also added a link to Template:COVID-19 pandemic data which is one of the few scrolling tables I have seen in article space.

Is it possible with Template:Scrolling window to set it up with a link to fully expand a table? As with Template:COVID-19 pandemic data? And is it possible with Template:Scrolling window to fix the header row such that it stays visible while scrolling? As at Template:COVID-19 pandemic data.

I wish to know the minimal wikitext involved with Template:COVID-19 pandemic data to do those 2 things: Full expansion and fixed header. Template:COVID-19 pandemic data has so much wikitext. Can you pull out the basics and use it here with Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country?

 Done, however review by a second set of eyes wouldn't hurt; I haven't really done serious css stuff for a few years now and I've managed to make a few (thankfully minor) errors in template coding in recent weeks. I took it a bit more slowly here to double check and I had a bit more time today but it's still possible I missed something.

Other than that let me know if there's any other features you want and I'll try to get to them before the end of the month. Courtesy ping to Dudley Miles since you're working on this as well.

I'm going to try to be around Sunday at least for 30 minutes if you have any immediate questions, if not you may need to wait until around the 21st to catch me again as the next two weeks should be bit busy for me, thanks. (please ping on reply)

Thanks Quantocius Quantotius, but it is no longer necessary. See: User:Timeshifter/Sandbox119. --Timeshifter (talk) 01:18, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

An improved version is at Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates. Does this look OK? Dudley Miles (talk) 08:36, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

It needs a collapse button that brings it back to the scrollable box. I asked for help here:

Template talk:COVID-19 pandemic data#Need a link to collapse it back to its original scroll box size.

Template talk:COVID-19 pandemic data/styles.css#Collapse link needed to collapse back to the original scroll box.

Comment. Dudley Miles and Quantocius Quantotius. Please see User:Timeshifter/Sandbox119. The scrollable table now has a sticky header row that stays visible while scrolling. --Timeshifter (talk) 01:26, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Sticky header row problem has been solved. See:

Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates

--Timeshifter (talk) 06:56, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

"Show all" and "Collapse" buttons are all working correctly on all of the partially-collapsed scrolling tables here:

COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory.
