Documentation[edit]

The message box at the top of the template says "This template does not display in the mobile view of Wikipedia; it is desktop only. Read the documentation for an explanation.". What documentation is it referring to? Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 06:11, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it isn't explained anywhere. I'm not sure if there's a documentation page... documenting this well. SWinxy (talk) 18:31, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:49, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh cool! Thanks! SWinxy (talk) 00:40, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal: Upgrade to include param TemplateStyles[edit]

Please add optional parameter |styles= (alias: |TemplateStyles=) which takes the value of the TemplateStyles file used by the template, and displays it in the style of template {{Uses TemplateStyles}}. Ideally, there should be a default value, so that if the param is included with no value, then the value passed to {{Uses TemplateStyles}} should be a file name consisting of the name of the template with /styles.css appended; that is, for Template:Foo, including |styles=Template:Foo/styles.css in {{Navbox documentation}} would be equivalent to including the parameter with no value. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 17:51, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The second unnamed parameter can be used instead. It can be used for both adding more template banners, but also for things like {{Template shortcut}} and {{Uses TemplateStyles}}. SWinxy (talk) 18:28, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SWinxy:, thanks! That's really not at all clear from the documentation; guess that makes this a heterological template. I may have to come back and fix the doc. Thanks again! Mathglot (talk) 06:19, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Updated. I've also added a |hatnotes= param for hatnotes appearing above the banners. SWinxy (talk) 19:42, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
