Mobile Theming[[edit source]]
Hi, there are no mobile styles for this template so it currently just show up as a row of ugly boxes, and it's not immediately obvious they're even buttons. Now that this template is going up on lots of pages I think this should be a pretty big priority, is anyone working on it? guyus24 (talk) 02:39, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'll create some styles for it soon. Sorry about not having any initially. Bongo50 ☎ 07:55, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- That's done it! And just a question on implementation, if I may: is there any reason why it's a table under the hood and not just something like CSS grid or flexbox? Don't suppose it really matters but it just stood out to me a bit, as if there's a reason for it. guyus24 (talk) 11:47, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Additional standard tabs[[edit source]]
Would it be at all possible to just make this template link to all subpages? Because it's a bit of a hassle piping all the custom ones every time. If not, can "/covers" at least be added to the list of standard subpages? Aquanafrahudy 📢 🖊️ 15:11, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
Removing "Talk"[[edit source]]
I missed the initial discussion which led to this template, but I've been mulling over whether "Talk" belongs.
My current thoughts are that the template is meant to connect the main page for a character/concept to other pages that provide useful information about that character/concept, and it feels like the Talk page doesn't exactly fit in that category? By the same logic as our hiding of technical categories, the second link on, say, Adric shouldn't be to the page where we argue about infobox images and … uhh … whether the story Seb exists? At minimum it's redundant the existing way to get to a talk page from the top of the article: just hover over the three dots!
Curious to hear what others think. – n8 (☎) 21:58, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- It's really convenient when you're on mobile, though; otherwise you have to manually add "Talk:" to the web address. Aquanafrahudy 📢 🖊️ 22:10, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

- Good points @n8. In my opinion, talk pages can get very nasty and/or Wiki brained so to outsiders are easily mockable, so I kinda don't want a big blazing link to these pages. 22:11, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- For anyone who uses Fandom on mobile a lot, can I recommend going to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets and selecting "ResponsiveMobile" under "New Functionality"? It will make the desktop site adapt to smaller screen sizes. After enabling the gadget, scroll down on any page on a mobile device and select "VIEW FULL SITE" (you may have to do this again from time to time). Bongo50 ☎ 17:55, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
