I was under the impression that the collapsable tables were for the Fusion Report page as a replacement for the large bulky tables we have now. For that purpose I think I'm still a little on the fence, I like them but feel the wiki would lose some utility for those who use the larger tables as a visual guide for making fusion descisions. I think this problem would be alleviated a bit if the biome based table was added to the Get The Dino You Want page so the more casual users still had an all-in-one visual table to use as a guide.

The problem with using the collapsable tables on the Get The Dino You Want page is that they answer the "I want dino x, which two dinos do I fuse to get it?" question well, but they don't do a good job with the "I have dino a and b, what possible dinos does that make?" question. The biome based table is smaller, more compact, more visually accessable and answers both of these questions equally well. I think the biome table better serves the Get The Dino You Want Page, and the collapsable tables are a better fit the more data intensive Fusion Result page.

I really, really like the biome table with all the dinos and think it is a very useful table and I hope a completed version it makes its way somewhere on the wiki. I know I would use it often. The collapsable tables I'm not as excited about, but the current tables are getting out of hand and I think these will make entering data easier. I'm not sure they will make data analysis easier as comparisons between different dinos will be hidden, so this will have to be considered. For me, I thnk it is worth it, but I also think you need some others to chime in on that.

Solving the Fusion Results table problem is not easy, I thought about this quite a bit a couple months back and could not come up with a good way without losing either data resolution, or data accessability. I know others do not want to lose data resolution so the collapsable tables or the big 'n bulky tables seem like the only two options.
