I want someone to add the history on the navbar — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gamerknowitall (talk • contribs) 17:58, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean? Primefac (talk) 19:49, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

@Primefac: this user made the same request at Template talk:Navbox#Adding "History" next to "Edit". I responded there with a rundown of past requests for the same addition and an argument against it; I don't see much point in repeating it here. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{☎ Dinoguy1000} 11:08, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

I thought that might have been the request. Concur that it's not worth adding based on past discussions. Primefac (talk) 18:28, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Good Morning, I am writing to you because the edits to the page on the Anglican Free Communion (The Episcopal Free Church) are inaccurate the AFC recently went through a Schism and this Schism resulted in a body called the Anglican Free Communion International being fromed, this body however is not the same body as the Anglican Free Communion.

The AFC very much still operates under the leadership of Archbishop Palmer and I find the edits to this page proclaiming Archbishop Firestone as the new Primus to be misleading Firestone leads the Anglican Free Communion International and not the Anglican Free Communion- details of this Schism can be found on the official Anglican Free Communion website located here: http://www.anglicanfreecommunion.org.uk/

Where it clearly mentions the breakaway schismatic group: An excluding breakaway group exists using a very similar website address.

Originating from a belief that inclusivity includes those who exclude, it professes inclusivity yet refuses to bless same-sex unions.

Much information from this website appears on theirs, including clergy lists.

So my request is that the Anglican Free Communion is not confused with the Anglican Free Communion International as they are two separate bodies regardless how the AFCI might feel, the AFC is very much a different body to the AFCI.

Many thanks 82.26.92.26 (talk) 09:35, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: It's not clear which page you are referring to. This is a talkpage for the Navbar Template. Please make your request on the talkpage of the article on which you are requesting the change be made. Jack Frost (talk) 10:06, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

TemplateStyles redux

I've taken some time today (more time than I should have) working Module:Navbar/sandbox to load a TemplateStyles page, as well as some chunk of refactoring. Probably the biggest of note externally is that I moved a bunch of strings to Module:Navbar/configuration, which should generally ease i18n. There were some other refactorings though so if you are aware of particular favorite pages/templates that have weird configurations, take a minute to play. The sandboxes and pages I poked at seemed okay. I've otherwise left some TODOs sprinkled.

From a template test case perspective, Template:Navbar/testcases/tstyles and Template:Navbar/testcases/not tstyles can be reviewed for similarity. I also incorporated the change into Module:Navbox/sandbox and those test cases also look fine.

@Jdlrobson and Jon (WMF): I notice you pushed for this the last time. Could you take a look at the current copy of Module:Navbar/styles.css and see if you spot any issues? I've done the work of merging Common and Mobile.css. Most of the deltas were because Mobile.css didn't get updated (characteristically).

--Izno (talk) 10:07, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

All's been quiet and even my fussings in the sandbox have not changed the fact that it continues to work there ( ;). I'll go live with this shortly. I'll be going around user CSS pages and changing any needed CSS classes which are also changing. You may see a blip of Stuff you are not interested in. --Izno (talk) 21:59, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Note if anyone else sees the issue and then comes here: If you start seeing all navboxes have their headers take up two lines, e.g. the V T E on one and the title on a second, purge the page. Pretty sure it's something to do with the the CSS file change/deletion, not the template change itself, but it should sort itself out soon. --PresN 03:19, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Indeed. A purge will also usually take care of it. --Izno (talk) 03:20, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm encountering the same. Looks like this:

It indeed went away with a purge. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 07:28, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

For navboxes with custom styling, VTE link underlines don't color properly

Template:University of Michigan uses a dark blue background with white text (including for links). I previously made this fix so that, when a reader hovers a cursor over a link, the underline appears white, rather than the normal blue (which is nearly invisible). The template's show and hide buttons have a white underline somehow too. However, the VTE buttons have the blue underline. Could we make a fix so that they will be white as well? I'm not sure exactly where the code is that's leading to the current display, but since the show/hide renders correctly, I assume the issue is more likely here than there. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 00:21, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I've made a change in the sandbox. -- WOSlinker (talk) 09:45, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Looks good to me; thanks! {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 18:39, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I've made the change now. -- WOSlinker (talk) 17:33, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Colheaders 2nd row hidden?

I am using {{Navbar-collapsible}} in {{DPCLEANUP pagelist}}; the table is used in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemicals § List of data pages (not mainspace).

I wanted the table to be sortable and collapsible. But when trying class="collapsible uncollapsed" &tc variants, sometimes the 2nd row, with columnheaders & sortbuttons, disappears. Sometimes in the Talkpage, sometimes at Template:homepage.

Could someone take a fresh look? Editing in both pages is OK. (|state= is abandoned already..) -DePiep (talk) 11:16, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

You could try class="mw-collapsible uncollapsed" instead. -- WOSlinker (talk) 12:28, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Why not class="mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed"? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:21, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Does mw-uncollapsed actually exist in use? I've only ever seen mw-collapsible and mw-collapsed. Also, it's not mentioned in the manual. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:58, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Redrose, that is what did it. Created WP:TABLECOLLAPSE foe next time. thx both. -DePiep (talk) 04:14, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

More options by module: e, t, h, l, m, w

Apparently, and per the module, there are more options: e, t, h, l, m, w →

Is there a reason these were not documented? DePiep (talk) 22:47, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Only because no one has added them. Primefac (talk) 10:55, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Good to hear, thx. (Though the Q is reasonable, because in Software it is common to not document features that are not stable or tested.) -DePiep (talk) 16:14, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

True, though I find on Templates more often than not it's someone forgetting to update the /doc! Primefac (talk) 17:09, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Set to different namespace option (view, v)

In {{view}} and {{V}}, is there an option to apply for different namespace? That is, do not rename to "Template:" namespace?

With {{V}}, I want to apply effectively: "for article [[Apollo 11]] V-T-E". Currently, the template links to unintended target Template:Apollo 11.

To be applied in an off-mainspace edit helper. Being redlinked is not relevant here, nor is repeated wikilink+"v" effect. DePiep (talk) 07:57, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

The short answer is "no"; this entire family of templates is template-only (per the documentation). I think {{edit}} is as close as you'd get, which is really all one needs since you'd be making a wikilink anyway. Primefac (talk) 08:06, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

OK thx. DePiep (talk) 09:42, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
