Can someone explain how the initially-hidden content of this article (e.g. the list of algebraic numbers, proof of the value for the method for generating an irrational, etc) is in compliance with [[MOS:DONTHIDE]]? Because it doesn't seem to be to me. (Also the square roots in the list of algebraic numbers are horribly formatted in android mobile view.) —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 05:44, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
:I still think the table of algebraic numbers is merely supplementary, similar to the past-years statistics example given in [[MOS:DONTHIDE]]. The enumeration proof for algbraic numbers can be understood without uncollapsing the table, but it gives some impression about how the enumeration looks like. Similarly, as far as I remember, the value ot the constructed irrational number is just supplementary; its irrationality has been proven before. Probably {{u|RJGray}} knows the details. —
:Concerning the root formatting: I remember I had used a unicode "√" followed by (e.g.) "<nowiki>{{overbar|5}}</nowiki>" to generate "√{{overbar|5}}". Subsequently, sombody has changed this to "<nowiki>{{radic|5}}</nowiki>", which generates "{{radic|5}}".Both look the same on my PC; I can't compare them in android mobile view. Anyway, it appears to be a problem of the "<nowiki>{{radic}}</nowiki>" template now. - [[User:Jochen Burghardt|Jochen Burghardt]] ([[User talk:Jochen Burghardt|talk]]) 11:19, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
