Description

MDN URL

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/hidden

What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Browser compatibility

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

hidden="until-found" wasn't added to browsers until recently, e.g. Safari 26.2. But the page doesn't communicate this to the reader.

What did you expect to see?

Some sort of note and/or row in the table to communicate that the until-found value was introduced later, a while after hidden itself.

It looks like BCD tracks this separately already, so the MDN page just needs to be updated to list the relevant data in a separate row, I assume?

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

Research direction

Start with the referenced BCD pull request and the compatibility data for HTMLElement.hidden. Then inspect the MDN source at files/en-us/web/api/htmlelement/hidden/index.md and verify how the data is rendered. Done means the compatibility table exposes until-found separately and communicates its later browser support.
